I may be able to help you but can you be a little more specific?
Refuah by Baruch Levine- I cannot stop listening to that song. It has touched my heart like no other song ever has.
80-85 inclusive bli neder
Well said. i have never had such an uplifting experience as spending my summer in this amazing camp
it’s true that most of the girls are regular fine religious girls. a lot of the girls ARE modern, but have regular hashkofos. i guess maybe it’s not so true that you could get affected. it really depends on the type that you are. about music many girls lose their sensitivity to the kind of music they usually wouldn’t listen to. like if you usually don’t listen to non jewish music youre gonna lose your sense of what is ok or not (jewish to non jewish)thats one thing you have to tolerate in camp cuz thats the kind of music they use for the camp. overall i dont think its so bad, if you want to spend your summer in a fun, meaningful way then it may be worth it to give it a try
I went to girlzone and one thing I could tell you is that it was an amazing experience. Your concern about the negative influence may be a legitimate one. But I would say that most of the influence would come from the other staff members. They come from all different back rounds and you may see a whole different world from your own depending on what kind of back round you yourself come from. I wouldn’t say that you may get influenced by the campers. You do have contact with the campers, there are activities that every staff member must be involved in. Each staff member is assigned one camper that you work with one on one. Overall I don’t think interacting with the campers would pose an issue. In fact it strengthens you cuz you learn to appreciate all the good you have in your life and that you are fully religious. There are many good sides to it. There is so much that you can gain. Shabbos is an amazing experience, you get to meet many different kinds of ppl., you see how young girls try so hard and even fight to be able to keep mitzvos, get closer to Hashem… and of course the fun and spirit 🙂 It truly is an experience!
If you have any other questions I would be happy to help you!
WIY:
Then why is it forbidden to make a chillul Hashem in front of other jews, and it’s even worse than in front of a a non jew? It can turn them off.
And what about all the non-jews and the non-frum who are doubtlessly looking at what we frum jews have to say about it? What kind of message are we portraying to them? That someone does something like this (takes off his beard…), and suddenly he’s not one of us anymore?
And part of being a practicing jew is to watch the words we say.
Shame on you! The worst chillul Hashem is when you talk like this in front of other jews. What do all of you think, when Matisyahu will read all of the shameful comments that the frum jews are writing about him? Why do you think he will want to remain frum when he sees how frum jews behave toward other jews?

Hey, my REAL bday was this week!
This song is available on itunes.
It is brought down that Hashem takes away Tzaddikim as a kaparah for klal yisroel.
