Mosaic Kishroniyah 2025!

Working with visiting artist Cecilia Kremer, participants in our Mosaic Kishroniyah have been working on creating a beautiful installation of mosaic flowers that will decorate the landscaped area between our Chadar Ochel and the Bitan (the open-air pavillion next to our Chadar Ochel).

The video above is a time-lapse of our Machon/Nivonim mosaics participants, and below is a time-lapse of our Magshimim/Bogrim group:

And here’s a look at some of the beautiful finished projects.  We’ll be installing these soon!

Kishroniyah is one of our centerpiece programs for our Tzad Bet (B-Side) chanichim (campers).  Kishroniyah comes from the Hebrew word kishron, which means skill.  For one week each summer, we invite an array of high-level specialists into camp to run intense special programs for our older campers.  Machon and Nivonim have 12 hours of Kishroniyah from Sunday-to-Wednesday, and Magshimim and Bogrim have 8 hours of Kishroniyah from Wednesday-to-Friday.
