Weekly Living Torah Video: A Historic Exception

After coming to America in 1941, the Rebbe spent his every single day working tirelessly on behalf of the Jewish people from his office in 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. On only three occasions did he leave New York City limits, each time to visit Camp Gan Israel in the Catskill Mountains, NY.

This is newly discovered archival footage of the Rebbe’s third visit to the camp in 1960. Narrated by Rabbi Tzvi Telsner, a camper at the time.
