Six Tefilin at Six flags

This week, Camp Gan Yisroel of Simcha Monica went on a trip to Six Flags. Before going on the trip, they were briefed by the head counselor about the rules which must be followed in such a large area. After listing all the rules, the head counselor made an offer: “Whichever group of campers will find a Jew and put on Teffilin with him, they will be rewarded – each Jew, another prize!”

The results at the end of the day were: six Jewish men had put on Teffilin – three of them for their very first time!

One staff member was quoted saying: “On every line we waited, the campers in my group made sure to ask everyone if they were Jewish!”

“Camp Gan Yisroel Simcha Monica makes a Jewish summer fun, and a fun summer Jewish!”
