During last week, the Jewish Released Time program under the auspices of the NCFJE arranged winter camps for public school children during their winter vacation. Over 120 children attended the Brooklyn and Queens camps.
The Brooklyn camp was hosted by United Lubavitch Yeshiva Ocean Parkway and Ohel Moshe Chevrah Tehillim, Lubavitch, and the Queens camp hosted by Anshei Shalom Chabad.
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 breakfasts and lunches, learning and arts and crafts activities such as sand art and decorating yarmulkes. Trips to bowling, swimming and Madd Fun were a definite hit. The children also spent a day in Crown Heights visiting the Matzah bakery, eating kosher pizza and having a rally in 770.
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 utmost talent.
A special thanks to the dedicated staff and to Rabbi Dechter, Rabbi Kornblatt and Rabbi Mordechai Hecht for helping make the camps the success they were.
