Banquet talk brings out all the feels.🥹✨#passthemic #sograteful #realrealizations

I see how much you guys want to want to pray to live for. This is the first time I've been in like a fully Jewish environment in a really long time. And I didn't really do have the best time at public school but for a lot of kids I was the only Jew there and it was very benaices. And I didn't realize how much I was like missing it and craving it like learning about Judaism and being in a class that was like surrounded by other Jewish girls and people who like understand me. It feels like home. Like I was nervous and like I made such great friendships with all of you and I love my roommates and my amazing suits and all of you suits are so like loving and kind, easy to talk to. And to Mama Miss, thank you for the whole BUE experience. It was really amazing and to Mrs. Kamara before, all the shears are great and really inspiring. Thank you everyone and this was such a great experience for me and I'm so glad I got to meet people, the suits, the kids. And I wasn't so sure about how I wanted to go to seminary after high school and here but I thought I'd just come anyway. And I'm really glad I came because now I'm like very sure that I want to go and talking to Shana and all of them and everybody just made me really want to go. So, thank you. lucky to be [music] in BUE and this camp in general is such a cute place like um the Shabbos Revolution, I was reading some of the things that the younger kids wrote on the board and I thought it was so amazing that we even had that opportunity and that we all did it together. It was really crazy like by all the Shabbos circle and everything like that. Like one person after the next said something like something so deep that like each one was like something I felt like I had to sit and think about but like the next person was going and then she was saying something so so [music] deep. She needs to grow and be more like you to be. There is a tremendous amount of potential in every single person. I'm so grateful I got the opportunity to come here. I made so many good connections and amazing friendships and I'm so excited to experience the world with everybody. And also I've been going to public school for the past two years, so I haven't been learning really. So this is the first time that I've been able to like sit down and learn. So I'm so grateful. I've learned so much, especially my core math class. >> [applause and cheering] >> The impact of this program will have far-reaching effects outside the walls of Furman Discover You to the mother of us all. >> [screaming] [cheering]
