Iyar/Sivan at the Bet El IDF Prep Academy

The last month was a busy one in Israel, and the Bet El IDF Prep Academy was no exception! Cadets celebrated Lag B'Omer with a bonfire outside their temporary trailers (until the new campus is ready!), went on a bicycle trip in the hills of Binyamin, celebrated Yom Yerushalayim in the Old City, enjoyed the visit of several Rabbis, completed an army drill on the beach throughout the night, and spent the entire night of Shavuot performing the "Tikun leil Shavuot" with the entire student body and staff at the Academy. See pictures of all these activities below!
