Camp Gan Israel Group Photo

WASHINGTONVILLE, NY [CHI] — The children of Chabad’s Camp Gan Israel, located in Washingtonville, were excited to participate in a special charity project called the “Chai-a-thon.” Chai, means “life” in Hebrew, and the proceeds of this project will help sick children to enjoy a summer at Camp Simcha, a Jewish camp for children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
In the early 1900's, the tenements of Manhattan’s Lower East Side were populated with Jewish immigrants. A Rabbi, who resided in the ghetto-like community, once attended an ecumenical function at which a notoriously anti-Semitic Episcopalian Minister was in attendance.

“What a coincidence!” remarked the minister upon encountering the Rabbi: “It was just last night that I dreamt I was in Jewish Heaven.”

“Jewish Heaven?” mused the Rabbi. “What is it like in Jewish Heaven?”

“Oh!” replied the minister, "in Jewish Heaven children with unclean faces, shirts un-tucked and clothes un-pressed, play in the dirt. Women haggle with fruit-vendors, as panhandlers rudely interrupt. Wash hangs from a maze of clotheslines, the dripping water adding to an already muddy surface. And of course,” continued the minister with a wry grin, “There are plenty of Rabbis running to and fro, with large tomes tucked under their arms!”
