It is one of the only all boys, modern orthodox touring camps in Israel. we do not get involved with any girls there making it not possible to get involved with ncsy programs and we do have basketball games against camp emes. the fact that you see all of their campers happy shows that sdei chemed does exactly that.Arinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339382027592667813.post-22038623305198170592012-06-18T16:07:44.906-04:002012-06-18T16:07:44.906-04:00She is graduating now.
