Best Madricha Ever

This past summer I did onward and lived in Israel for 2 months. My group was lucky enough to have Rebecca as our Madricha. She truly was the best madricha I could have ever asked for. She actually made the boring group activities so fun and made our experience so much better and more meaningful. I remember on tiyulim days, she always made us play this “Wa!” Icebreaker game to get our energy up and as stupid as it was, she somehow made it fun and made me want to play. That’s what she did as a madricha, she made the boring and stupid stuff, fun and meaningful. I think it was because she had this amazing ability to be a responsible rule-follower while being a cool rule-breaker, she told me they even called her bumblebee in the army because of this. She became more than a madricha to me though, she was truly a friend, and I will forever be thankful for the amazing summer I had as a friend of hers. I know her memory will forever be a blessing!
