This week’s Jewish Value is Manhigut, meaning leadership. Leadership is a common theme seen all around camp. From the Nitzanim campers all the way up to the staff, Manhigut is shown in many different ways. We asked campers and staff members how they show leadership on camp and we would like to share their responses with you.
