CGI FL Learn Over 34,000 Lines By Heart

As every year, throughout the 6 weeks of the camp season, campers from Camp Gan Israel Florida worked to prepare a special and most befitting present for the Rebbe with their annual Mishnayos Be’Al peh program; together, the talmidim learned and were tested on a total of over 34,000 lines of Mishnayos, Tanya and Siddur.

This number includes: 855 Mishnayos – including 74 complete perakim – and 16 perakim Tanya. Campers also had the chance to get tested on many Yediyos Kloliyos from a special MBP Handbook (courtesy of Rabbi Sholom Heidingsfeld of Cheder Menachem – Los Angeles, CA).

An added feature to this year’s program was that parents were able to track their child’s MBP progress throughout the summer months on the camp’s MBP website (both the database & website courtesy of Rabbi Dovid Zirkind of www.baalpeh.com).

On Friday, Gimmel Elul, a special ceremony was held where the campers were awarded Seforim which they themselves chose as prizes for their efforts & achievements; the entire camp staff and administration, which included the camp’s Executive Director, Rabbi Yosef Biston and Director, Rabbi Yossi Goldblatt, joined to pay tribute to the children’s efforts.

The children were welcomed and commended for their accomplishments and efforts. Leibelovitch, the coordinator of the Mishnayos Be’al Peh program, announced the accomplishments of this year’s MBP, which was followed by honoring the top 3 campers with the highest accomplishments, to receive their prizes; Menachem Mendel Konikov of Bunk Hey, Menachem Mendel Roth of Bunk Dalet & Menachem Mendel Weunch of Bunk Zayin.

Each camper was then called up and received a prize according to his achievements, with the accompaniment of a simultaneous Multimedia presentation, displaying each campers’ points, achievements and seforim they received.

The campers, staff and administration of Camp Gan Israel Florida hope that the campers’ accomplishments & achievements give much nachas to the Rebbe and, as explained in the Rebbe’s Sichos, will bring the Hisgalus of Moshiach Now!
