Released Time Mid-Winter Camp

BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — During President’s Week the Jewish Released Time program under the auspices of the NCFJE arranged a winter camp for public school children. Over 100 children attended the two locations—the Brooklyn camp hosted by United Lubavitch Yeshiva Ocean Parkway and the Queens camp hosted by Anshei Shalom Chabad of Queens.

The children were taken daily on afternoon trips, which was preceded by a morning program filled with activities to promote Jewish knowledge and pride. The children were treated to nourishing hot breakfast, lunches, learning and arts and crafts programs.

The halls of the Yeshiva and Chabad center echoed with the famous “I’m a Jew and I’m proud”, and “Torah Tziva Lanu Moshe”. There were Torah contests and quizzes as well. All in all the children were inspired and educated in our Jewish Heritage with the utmost talent.

A special thanks to the dedicated staff and especially to Ahrele Matusof and the phenomenal head counselors Avremel Matusof and Chaim Yisrael Sperlin.
