HOST AN ISRAELI
Now a tradition, Camp Olami is bringing staff from Israel known as Shlichim (emissaries). Shlichim are in their early twenties and most have just finished their army service. These talented individuals will be here for the summer as part of our camp community working with our staff to bring Israel a little closer to us.
We are seeking warm, welcoming families to house our Shlichim and be their home-away-from-home this summer. Please consider opening your home to an Israeli guest for approximately three weeks. This can be a fun experience for you and your family. Many of our Shlichim and host families form lasting relationships, maintaining contact with each other long after the summer has ended. Shlichim, in turn, are delighted to entertain their host families when they visit Israel. This program clearly strengthens the ties between the American Jewish community and Israel. Don’t miss your chance to take part in this enriching experience!
If you are interest in housing a Shaliach this summer, please contact the Sabes JCC Summer Camp Hotline at 952.381.3421 or summer@sabesjcc.org.
