David S., Age 12\"\"<\/a>
Tribe of Zebulun<\/p>\n

This year, Malachai had his bar mitzvah at camp. This was a part of Camp Gilgal history. It was the first and only (until now) bar mitzvah held at junior camp. Malachai\u2019s birthday was on July 1, at camp, and since he was turning 13, he had his bar mitzvah here (July 2, 2011). His family came a few days before it. Rabbster, Mrs. Walker, Tirzah,\u00a0Kezzi, and Talia (Zemeira an\"\"<\/a>d Jaden were already here). His parsha was Balak. He read Numbers 22:2-6 in the Hebrew. For his drash, he went through the story of Balaam and Balak. He talked about how God will not let Israel be cursed. Then, since it was Shabbat, Rabbster talked about some verses and the lessons we can learn from them. I am really glad to be Malachai\u2019s friend. Moose called up the \u201cmanly tribe of Zebulun\u201d and Chai\u2019s family and we prayed for him. I learned a lot from his bar mitzvah, and I hope that he will grow closer to God as he reaches manhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
