Noseh: The lesson of Shmini Atzeret: G-d loves us, and he doesn’t want to let go.

Goal: To create an experience for the chanichim to help them understand why we have Shemini Atzeret.

Noseh:  Appreciating Hashem through nature

Goal: To teach the chanichim that

1.      Natural beauty is a way to appreciate God in the world

2.      Succot is a time-out we take to reconnect to nature, in order to appreciate Hashem’s wondrous creation.

3.      While appreciating nature, we also need to appreciate our dependence on Hashem. 

All ages should have a chance to: get to know their Shevet and their Madrichim, hear what the plans for the year are and have a fun event so that they will want to come back for more.
