From Days Gone By: Gan Yisroel in the Mid ‘60s
From the archives of Zevi Iseroff, we present a collection of vintage photographs of Camp Gan Yisroel in upstate New York, summers of 1964 and 1966. Can you identify anyone in the photos?
The photo of two young men in front of 770 was taken on the last day of camp in 1966. After returning from the Catskills, the counselors were dropped off at 770, where they davened Mincha with the Rebbe.
