What to do during a peula you’re not running

8

Unless the runner of a peula and the chanichim are in top form (and even then most of the time), the peula will flop without the help of the other madrichim at the peula. Even if the peula doesn’t flop, the person running it will be extremely frustrated. So read up – this list is more important than many of us think!

1. Be enthusiastic: If the kids see that you’re not into it they’ll take that as an invitation to do likewise. Have ruach! And lots of it!

2. Spread yourselves out: Don’t hang with other madrichim. Whoever is running the show needs the madrichim dispersed to help keep chanichim quiet and attentive.

3. Show up to the peula: Just because it isn’t your peula doesn’t mean you don’t have to be there. You must be there ready to help out. Show up on time with as many kids as possible.

4. Don’t engage in side conversations: This is awful dugma, terribly insulting to whoever is running the peula, and it’s extremely disruptive.

5. Don’t undermine the authority of the person running the peula: They want you to help, but they still have an idea of how they want the peula to run. Don’t take it upon yourself to run the peula.

6. Feedback: If you feel that something is being done incorrectly or being missed, try to find a time and place during the peula to tell the runner discreetly. If you can’t do it this way, wait. Save it for after the peula is done.

7. Help take care of problems that the runner can’t attend to: No one is capable of running a peula and taking care of the problem kids at the same time.

Hashomer Hatzair World Movement Ideology: The 10 Dibrot(Revised May 2008)

 1. The Shomer/et is a man/woman of truth and stands on its guard.

9

2. The Shomer/et is an integral part of the Jewish people and strongly connected to the state of Israel. He/she is rooted in his/her culture and is a chlutz/a of our Judaism.  3. The Shomer/et finds meaning in his/her relationship to work and fights to create a world where labour is a productive expression of human creativity and freedom.  4. The Shomer/et is politically active and a forerunner in the pursuit of freedom, equality, peace and solidarity.  5. The Shomer/et is a committed chaver/a that works jointly with others, struggles for the progress of society and promotes Shomeric values.  6. The Shomer/et actively develops and maintains relationships which are intentional, free and honest within the kvutza and the whole Shomeric community. He/she takes the responsibility to look after his/her chaverim.  7. The Shomer/et respects and cares about nature; he/she gets to know it, learns how to live within it and acts in accordance with sustainable practices.  8. The Shomer/et is courageous, independent, thinks critically and takes initiative accordingly.  9. The Shomer/et strengthens his/her character and strives towards physical, mental and spiritual wholeness.  10. The Shomer/et is led by his/her reason and takes full responsibility for his/her actions. He/she sets Dugma Ishit.

The Project stuff will be explained at the seminar. I know this schedule seems all over the place, but just like a four day winter camp, this is something experimental. Please approach this with enthusiasm as opposed to disappointment because it leaves out some staple traditions. We are trying to give the best possible winter camp experience, not the most typical/obvious one.
