Yeshivas Kayitz-Costa Rica Does It Again!

For the third straight summer, Yeshivas Kayitz-Costa Rica was an unbelievable success. The program, under the auspices of the Head Shliach to Costa Rica Rabbi Hershel Spalter, and organized by director Moshe Minsky, was geared towards yeshiva students ages 16-17 who were looking to have an exciting summer while continuing to have a Yeshiva experience.

The Bochurim enjoyed a unique learning system, spearheaded by Rabbi Shmuly Geisinsky, which allowed them to choose the topic of study, and thereby increasing their level of effort and interest.

“The amount that the Bochurim learned was amazing,” said Rabbi Geisinsky;“by allowing them to choose the subject, not only did they get more involved in the learning, but they began to really enjoy it as well.”

The students also enjoyed a wide range of activities in the beautiful nation of Costa Rica, which included: white water rafting, horseback riding, zip-lining, scuba diving, hot springs, rain forest excursions, snorkeling, surfing, crocodile feeding and much more.

The program would not have been possible without the endless efforts of the staff, led by head counselor Zevi Geisinsky: Moti Wilansky, Shmuly Levitin, Meir Rapoport, Levi Wilansky, Yitzi Ceitlin, Ary Baldioceda and Yoni Sarue.

A special thank you goes to Shaul Kahana for all that he has done for the Yeshivas Kayitz, especially hosting the farbrengens.

    Was it all about fun? or did they learn something as well?
    (I know most of their time they were in the Beis Midrash, just if you are showing off pics of a summer yeshiva……)

  • Fun in the Sun

    The priorities are just fine. If you are showing off pics of a summer yeshiva “geared towards yeshiva students ages 16-17 who were looking to have an exciting summer”, then 7 pics of davenning, learning and farbrenging is more than enough. The uniqueness of this program is to attract excitement seeking bochurim, who might CvS find excitement in a non-yeshiva environment, so therefore the fun pics are more important to stress. Yosher Koach to those to made this wonderful program! You have elevated many sparks in a beautiful country, bringing the Geulah closer, Now!
