okay so let's go back let's go back to
the beginning people you were in the
camp you were in this zone a bunch of
years a bunch as in do you remember what
year you started I think that's a trivia
question 2005 wow that's like years and
years ago over kravitz do you remember
2005 absolutely okay I'm not gonna ask
you how old you were then because some
people are gonna be doing math so I'm
not gonna ask you then but I'm on the
mic correct that you went through a
number of phases throughout the camp you
went through different different
divisions in camp yeah thank you you
made it up to the senior division teen
teens discover you Wow
went to seminary and look at that okay
have you had have you had any other
experiences with other than camp um I
mean where's been really like the fabric
of my life in a way because ever since
that 2005 summer they were just with me
at every point of my life wherever I was
with whether it be switching from the
school that I was in at the time 2005
2006 I remember I remember just talking
to one of my counselors when summer and
telling her like it's so hard to go back
home and to go like you you have this
fire in your belly when you leave camp
and you want to conquer and you want to
do and you're so like you're so ready to
be and then you get home and you're back
in the same environment back in the same
group of friends and you just you can't
it's so hard to hold on to and it would
come like December time and I would just
lose it and there was one yeah you
losing Suzanne you lose the fire you
lose the like the courage I guess I'm
not sure it's important to clarify that
losing the enthusiasm is not unique I'm
sure everybody and and I remember um
talking to one of my counters on the way
home from camp and I told her I'm like
I'm so not ready to go back now like I
badly want to be this person that I that
I feel right now and going back you mean
going back going back to school going
back to school going back to that whole
environment like I knew it's not I know
I'm not
I'm not gonna be able to handle it for
so long for a whole ten months without
without like you know without the people
that I have and the people that I met
and the funds that I made is that one
school and that your she's like well why
don't you just switch and I going to
mean switch and she helped me along with
Aurra finds a better school a more
appropriate school for where I was
holding who is she
should name first name is okay Idina I
can say Wow have you kept up with her at
all
periodically actually I've seen her and
it's always nice to see what did she
how did she influence you to switch
school what did she say what was that
magic that made it
I never dawned on me to switch schools
get yourself out of the situation that
you're in like I didn't know that best
opportunity for me you know but we're
like they were able to do that for me
and and I guess that's where it all
started so this Edina just gave you the
idea or did she take steps financial
steps whether it be getting me into the
school I can imagine you even know which
school to go though do you think do you
think Edina knows about the impact that
you made on your life with that I hope
so
if I dinner was here tonight if she
would be sitting here tonight what would
you want to tell her I would think her
so much for for going to and helping and
being there for me when I needed her
most basically he redirected my life in
the direction that it needed to go in
order to get to where I am right now I I
have a little surprise for you yeah
Adina's not here life no no she wasn't
able to make it here live yeah but she
is on the phone and you're joking no I'm
not joking that's the last time you met
at Luna it was probably before you were
married and perhaps Athena knows I'm
sure I'm sure she knows you're married
I'm sure she knows you're now a mom you
have two children and I'm sure she's
super proud but we have Adina on the
line is she is she available hello I'm
great how are you
sorry no I said you're not suicide the
view on here then I could be on here so
uh-huh you deserve to be on here
I don't know I really came on to say
that I when I was contacted about the
story I guess I was like what what did I
say to you I knew that you were a vis
just are always in camp and you were
like so incisive and everyone was always
so into you and I what did I say and
there my dream and it just hit me like
it was such an inspiration for me to
realize that there was like seeing that
I was able to see something or be there
for something yeah I didn't have to
totally realize the impact of and
obviously I mean with you and everything
else but you did make it happen who you
are today is amazing
I dunno it's okay I wanted to check for
a moment now that we jogged your memory
a bit do you do you recall that
conversation you had with he loved that
many years ago do you remember what it
is that you told her I do remember going
home oh you're going home together and I
I am really talking perineal was a very
like insightful person like thinking
about life I guess how do they hold onto
the inspiration or everything but when I
was first told I said something I wasn't
quite sure what I said and then when she
from that was told I like alright then
at all together and I remember like the
change and he what did mention it to me
and I remember just so many years ago
but he did bring it up and was would you
do you know we do classify that
conversation as something that you
really prepared for and you did a lot of
research and say how am I gonna help
heal up what what can I do for her or
was that more of a gut reaction not
prepared one and I've one of those like
you know in camp there's lots of those
like you know I guess I so he's in full
conversation it was really like on the
bus going home but it was really just
what
No one of my couple of charities was
also it also shows who Gila is somebody
to take something and got something from
it she's like a that type of person
so today the staff from Ryan and girls
on the zone girls division are literally
the clothes like some of the closest
friends that I have in my life and like
just even we came to Lakewood for
Shabbos was by a former staff member
with her former staff members sister we
all spent Chavez together like it it
it's not just like a camp thing I think
it becomes like a life long relationship
that's why it's cool more than just the
camp
