At machaneh, we use a lot of hebrew, such as in announcements, activity names, names of buildings and other areas, for cheers and songs, and more. We promise that you'll leave having learned at least one new word in hebrew(many learn much more). These words are used CONSTANTLY, so you will definitely learn most of them. We may not come out and say "this means this", but when we refer to a building, for instance, you can easily infer what the words means. Learn a few of them so that you can appear smarter than the other new campers!
