We had a great first 🥇1️⃣ day of Gan Izzy💕💕💕! We started the day off with lineup, davening📖, and an important lesson on Brachot (thanking G-d for the food🥭🍋🍌 and other blessings He gives us). The campers then got the opportunity to decorate✏️✏️ their bunk rooms! They look awesome 😎!! The girls expressed their creativity through beautiful fruit🍇 sculptures, while the boys played a grand game 🏉🏉 of football with Rabbi Landa ✡️✡️! The kids had a blast swimming🏊 in the pool and sliding down the incredible waterslide🛝! We ended the day with delicious popsicles! We are so excited to see you all tomorrow 💖💖 !

Some very creative🎨 twinning was going on on DAY 3️⃣ of Camp Gan Izzy!! We began the twin day with line up, a surprise twin relay race competition🥚🎈🏃♀️, followed by davening and a lesson about Mezuzot🚪. We spoke about the protection💂♀️ that a Mezuzah provides since inscribed inside the Mezuzah is a holy scroll 📜 with Hashem/Gd's powerful 📛 name and the prayer of Shema. We had an incredible drumming session 🥁🪘with our amazing instructor Phil! He helped us use fun and colorful 🌈 boomwhackers to make beautiful music, and then we played with larger drums 🥁, making our own rhythms along the way. We all had a blast ❤️. In preparation for our visit to the fire station on Fr
Wow what another amazing day of camp! We started off with an epic circle-up, then headed to our bunk room to daven 📖. Today we learned all about Shabbat, and how Hashem created the world 🌎 for six 6️⃣ days then rested 🛏 on the 7th and so we rest now. We then decorated cookies 🍪 to take with us to adventure playground 🛝 ! When we got to adventure playground each kid found what they had most fun doing, some kids painting 🖼, some hammering 🔨, and some zip-lining! We headed back to Chabad and finished another smashing day!
Week 2 😍😍 was off to an incredible start!!! We started off with line up, davening✡️ and an inspiring story📖 by Rabbi Landa talking about the importance of staying focused on your mission in this world 🌍, while the younger bunk enjoyed a captivating nature hunt 🍁🍀! The boys played a game of football 🏈 with the Rabbi, showing lots of Ahavat Yisroel (love ❤️for a fellow jew✡️), which led into an extraordinary carnival 🎡run by our amazing 🤩 staff! With games like coke vs pepsi 🥤, ping pong cups🏓, and SPLASH THE RABBI 💦✡️the campers had a blast!!! We concluded the day with a very fun car 🚗 wash and swimming 🥽.
Wow! What an incredible day! 💖💖💖 We started off with line up, a hilarious yet competitive game of Balloonarama 🎈, davening ✡️, and an official lesson on Ahavat Yisroel ❤️(loving your fellow as you would yourself). When you show love ❤️to another person its as if you showed love to yourself. All Jews are connected🔗 as if they are one "person". Every one of us has a piece of G-d inside of us and when we look at eachother like that it passes all the physical differences 🫂. We headed straight into tie dye cookies 🍪! You guys did a awesome job and they looked really cool. We boarded the busses for a epic trip to REBOUNDERZ🦘! As we headed back, we had smashing songs 🎶 and games🏈 t
Today was a stupendous day🤩🤩!! We started off with line up, davening✡️, and an awesome lesson on the Beit Hamikdash🕍 (holy temple) and all the rooms within it by the RABBI🕎! Additionally, the campers learned that today is a sad 😭 day in Jewish history. Today is the day where the walls 🧱 of Jerusalem were destroyed💔 by the Babylonians, which led directly to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash. We then had an incredible animal🐒 show!! There were monkeys🐒, lizards🦎, snakes🐍, baboons🦧, and EVEN A CROCODILE 🐊!!! The campers had an absolute blast getting to learn and hold the many different animals (we were especially excited when Rabbi Landa held the crocodile too). Nex
