Well, sort of. Chances are you’ve got a few things you’re planning on bringing based on what the event organizers have sent out, but there might be some stuff you hadn’t thought about yet. Let’s try to get 50 items for 50 years.
We’ve started off the first 15, help us out to come up with the next 35! Just post your comment and we’ll add them (as quickly as we can).
THE ULTIMATE 50th PACKING LIST….I hope you have enough room in your bag
- Your best stacking game strategies
- Pocket sized version of the announcements song
- A letter to get your Mo
- A map to your time capsule you made when you were an ofarim camper
- A frisbee, or two, or three of them.
- Your old t’shuva notes
- Your Shabbat Whites
- A well practiced version of your favorite bean skit
- Your Maccabiah fake break skepticism
- A guitar (it’s a safe bet someone will want to play it if you don’t)
- The hope that maybe Eisner will win at least one inter-camp tournament
- That design for the plaque you’ve always wanted to make
- Your questions for the Israeli staff (How often do you eat falafel? How often do you go to Eilat?!)
- Ruach, duh.
- Pictures of your kids (I mean, I don’t have any yet, but if I did, wouldn’t I want to show them off to myTzofim sweetheart?)
