knowing i cant bring bikkurim feels like this
Did you have color war or anything like it at your school/camp. as in everyone dresses up in a different color and competes in a bunch of competitions for points and whoever gets the most at the end of the day wins.
I've had some version of color war at almost every Jewish school or camp I've been to. It comes from Macabi Games in Israel and a bunch of Jewish camps and schools were like, we should have something like that. I've seen it called color war, bikkurim, and macabi games.
I realized it was probably a Jewish thing when I realized that field day wasn't just color-war and tends to be more team-building than color war. I read a fanfic yesterday set in a secular camp that had color-war so now I'm wondering if it really is a Jewish thing that just kind of spread a bit or if it isn't a Jewish thing so here's a poll
Did you have color war
yes and I'm Jewish
no and I'm Jewish
yes and I'm not Jewish
no and I'm not Jewish

וְכָל תְּרוּמָה לְכָל קָדְשֵׁי בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיבוּ לַכֹּהֵן לוֹ יִהְיֶה (במדבר ה, ט) EVERY RAISED-OFFERING OF ALL THE HOLY THINGS THAT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BRING TO THE KOHEN, IT SHALL BE HIS. (BAMIDBAR 5:9)
Rashi explains that this verse teaches us that the bikkurim are given to the kohen. Elsewhere (Shemos 23:19), the Torah instructs us to bring bikkurim, the first fruits of the season, to the Beis Hamikdash, the Holy Temple, but does not state what shall be done with the fruit afterward. The Torah tells us now, “to the kohen, it shall be his”—the bikkurim are divided among the kohanim.
The Torah’s portrayal of bikkurim as a two-step process, first requiring us to bring the new fruits to the Beis Hamikdash and then instructing us to leave them for the kohanim, teaches us the approach we should adopt when it comes to giving tzedakah.
Bikkurim must be brought from fruits of the highest quality (see Rambam, Laws of Bikkurim 2:3), whose cultivation requires great effort and patience. The mitzvah to bring the very first of these fruits to the Temple demonstrates that when we chance upon an opportunity to give to charity, we must not hesitate to part with it as we consider how difficult it was for us to earn. Rather, we should readily give the first and finest of our earnings to a G-dly purpose—tzedakah.
The ultimate challenge, however, is not in contributing toward a holy or communal cause, but in giving the first of our earnings to the poor, for their personal benefit. One can rightfully argue, why is the next person more entitled to the first fruits of my labor than I am? I, too, am needy and deserving!
The mitzvah of bikkurim shows us how to surmount this inner struggle: by bringing the new fruits to the Temple before giving them to the kohen. Figuratively, this means to regard the first of our earnings as funds that already belong to charity. The process begins with “bringing the fruits to the Temple,” because the struggle of parting with our hard-earned money in favor of giving it to someone else exists only so long as we are parting with our possessions. Once we regard the funds as belonging to charity, giving them away becomes much easier.

Bikkurim
written by Will Schumacher
Per my last post, the unique list of the 12 tribes of Israelites/144,000 sealed in Revelation 7 has a Hebrew gematria of 3207 when using the gematrias of Numbers 2.
The 144,000 are called “firstfruits” in Revelation 14. The 7 species of Israel that consist of the firstfruits or “bikkurim” in Hebrew are listed in Deuteronomy 8:8 with a matching gematria of 3207.
I thought this was pretty cool, but I might not have explained it so well. Aleph Beta has a nice video on the bikkurim and its importance to the covenant.
Deuteronomy 26 explains what the person who brings the firstfruits to the temple must say:

The Shavuot Tradition of Bikkurim, or First Fruits
As rabbi and executive director of Chabad Shul of Potomac, Menachem Mendel Bluming guides an organization that provides a host of community-focused social and religious services. Mendel Bluming recently shared his thoughts on involving the younger generation in Jewish observances in the article "Shavuot Across the Denominations.” A two-day holiday usually in May, Shavuot celebrates the Israelites being given the Torah by Moses 3,330 years ago during a critical moment in our history. One aspect of traditional observance involved bringing the first fruits of harvest (bikkurim) as an offering to the Holy Temple. A key reason for this tribute involves giving thanks for an end to the affliction and oppression associated with the Jews’ time in Egypt. As part of this tradition, Israeli farmers would traditionally source budding fruits on their land and affix a reed to them, along with a verbal declaration that they are bikkurim. The seven fruits included within this observance are barley, wheat, grapes, olives, dates, figs, and pomegranates. Today the “first fruits” concept retains great symbolic power as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging God, giving thanks, and recognizing the good (hakarat hatov).
