Very patriotic Camp

In what other place in the world do they celebrate August the twelfth with the same pomp and circumstance as we?
Get your kazoos ready!

scarrrry

No, parents, this man was not involved in taking care of your children, don't worry.
Besides, we made sure he was well fed before we let him near any kids.

Monkey Business

Unfortunately, William, who was hoping for a new bike, ate the afikoman too early.

Intense competition

The intense competition, the drive to succeed. The knowledge that this contest is just incredibly big- that you've been training your whole lief just for this big game! What a feeling the is. What exhilaration! In preparation, I work towards my goal the entire year. I know the game isn't until the summer, but I run miles each day, tone my muscles, sharpen my skills- I even try to catch flies with chopsticks. I must master myself. I must learn to control my body completely!
I visit the arena during the winter- snow piled ominously around, and my heart thumps as I envision myself holding that coveted trophy. That great award of tetherball mastery.
I am getting ready for our showdown.
I am getting ready Yitzy Shaps. And when the day comes, you will feel the full power of a trained, fit, and really, really cold challenger.
Watch out.

for rubiks lovers

Do you believe your eyes?

I can't believe my freezing toes.Yes, the picture you're looking at is one I took here in Las Vegas, yesterday. It's not supposed to be cold. I want my money back!

Without a doubt...

There's only one way possible to be the yearbook guy. This is it.

Ah, the good times...

Would you like some fries with that?

What would this summer have been like without good old Dave?

Oh Say

Here's a picture of Nageela's very own Rabbi Staum singing our National Anthem at the Binghamton Mets game, last Thursday.

Hey Jeffwey!

Horsing around

For some reason, I didn't take pictures of the new facilities in camp, like the new dugout, new basketball court, or NEW OUTDOOR SHOWERS (don't ask). I did, however take a picture of the horse roaming around the soccer field. I guess the girls camp doesn't play much soccer. Maybe they play polo instead.

Wii acknowledge...

This past Sunday's JEPLI BBQ was a smashing success. We all enjoyed musical accompaniment by JEFnAZI, as well as Yehuda hogging the Mic and me standing in a shopping cart.

Congrats to Sam Lipke, the winner of the NINTENDO Wii.

AND DOES THIS PICTURE SURPRISE ANYONE?

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?

Public Opinion

I had an idea for the new Nageela t-shirt, and I need your opinion of whether or not it is a good one. Here it is

It is, of course, based on the drink FRUITOPIA, with its distinctive label. Please give me feedback, thanks.

exercise is good for you.

Anyone who's ever filled up the JEP van knows how true this is. In other news, Rabbi Shenker has announced that Brim will be biking to Wal-Mart daiy .

Welcome Back to me

Israel was incredible, but now I'm back home, so back to work on making Nageela 08 even better than Nageela 08 has ever been (hey, no wisecracks, I know Nageela 08 hasn't been yet, I'm not as stupid as I look).

I'll leave you with another few pics from my Israel trip

Although that family picture is actually at the Kotel (Western Wall), the picture of just Tova at the wall does look a bit strange, doesn't it?

DOESN'T TOVA LOOK A LITTLE TOO BIG FOR THE WALL?

It's actually a model at a tourist attraction called mini Israel, where they have models of all the famous places in Israel. It even has little people shuckling as they pray.

Cute.

I wonder if they sing Aleinu in English.

A typical day in the office

This is not really anything unusual, just thought I'd give all of you a glimpse of Rabbi Shenker in action.
And, no. It was not posed. He really carries on two phone conversations at once. Don't ask me how.

Deliciously scenic

Check out some incredible landscapes, made from food. In fact, Yaakov Simanowitz is now the chief architect of Camp Nageela's new building
