i heard that the guy didnt want to put on teffilin till the counselors told him that the campers want to see him do it. so he asked the campers, “do you wan to see me put on tefilin” and they said “yes” so he agreed.

just shows you the power of jewish kids, even though many are not frum (as of yet)!!!

That Teffilin bag is original from Rabbi Levitansky A”H and it’s nice to see how his kids are following in his way……
….Teffilin, don’t leave home without it!

this is a real Kiddush Hashem
apparently (according to your comment and this story) these guys don’t go anywhere without teffilin, which is truly amazing.

it only shows that even on a trip they are only looking to give these kids many who are not in the slightest way frum (yet) a taste of yiddishkeit and Jewish pride

GO Zev Mayer!
