Day Camp Visits New York

40 Jewish Children from Camp Ohr Menachem in Cote S. Luc, Montreal enjoyed a special Shabbaton this weekend in New York.

Departing from Montreal on Wednesday night, the camp visited Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ on Thursday.

Friday morning campers davened Shacharis in 770 followed by a visit to the Ohel where all the campers wrote panim and visited the Rebbe’s Ohel.

The camp then visited the Rebbe’s library followed by some Judaica shopping around Crown Heights. The group continued on to J2 Pizza in Manhattan as well as some shopping in Chinatown.

Shabbos was spent in 770. Motzei Shabbat, after a visit to Kingston Pizza, the group headed back to Montreal. On the bus heading home, each camper got up and told the group of a hachlata – good resolution they had undertaken as a result of the trip.

The camp is under the leadership of Rabbi Mendel Raskin of Beth Chabad CSL and directed by Rabbi Levi Raskin.

Camp staff includes Head Counselors Levi Arnauve and Yankel Raskin, and counselors and staff Chaim Dray, Hillel Chiche, Arie Zana, Mendel Konikov, Aaron Gabay, Levi Chekly, Meir Chlomo Chekly and Levi Abelsky.
