Who doesn’t love a good top 10?? Since summer programs have officially been launched… what a perfect time it is to do a ‘Top 10 Favorite Moments of ILTC 2026’ from my summer!

1. Jumping in the pool during Chofesh - Every time I heard the pool was open I knew I would have to stop by for at least a little to hang out with friends and cool down!

2. Being Dorm Of the Day for meals - Those few extra minutes spent with my cabin to set up and clean up meals made our bond stronger without even realizing in the moment!

3. Taking photos at the Perlman Tree on Shabbat - Bringing a digital camera to use with teens on Friday nights made Shabbat even more special.

4. Canteen after a long day - Make sure to bring cash to ILTC so you can buy the $10 punch cards!

5. Getting to lead Havdalah - One of the best ways to create a special moment of connection and community in your ILTC attendance body.

6. Being interactive during your blueprint session - Getting to speak and learn about BBYO in your Blueprint session connects you to leadership at an international level!

7. Meeting new people from your Ma’badot - This allowed me to build new friendships and learn about others’ experiences 

8. Stepping outside my comfort zone - Don’t feel afraid to talk to new people from another region! 

9. Make every moment worth it - Don’t skip programs or stand in the back of activities, show energy and stay active in the summer you have ahead of yourself!

10. HAVE FUN!!! - This is YOUR summer! Make it the best 3 weeks of your life because before you know it, it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
