The Gan Izzy Great Race
The tension was high and the pressure on in Camp Gan Yisroel with a special group of a select few older campers were lined up at the starting line. Cheering them on was a large group comprised of the younger campers. The challenge, to complete an athletic triathlon race raced aptly name; The Gan Izzy Great Race.
The countdown began and they were off, First they had to run around the Shule, then on to the path down to Siberia, after that it was off to the baseball field. Coming down the hill there was a line of bikes parked in a row, but only for the first twelve campers ahead of the game. After a short ride in the Rebbe’s forest the bikers arrived at the lake, where another sight awaited, only eight life jackets were up for grabs. The eight contestants split up in three boats with each boat together with its passengers now situated inside them racing forward to pick up the flag on the opposing side.The race finally concluded with the athlete’s running back to the finish line where a resounding crowd cheered them to on victory. All in all a lot of fun and a great activity.
This great activity would not have been possible without the help of a very special family in Toronto.

The Play:
Winning Team of Eved play took place in 1922 in Ireland, whem the IRA was making a rebellion against the king of England who ruled Ireland. The play was about a Rabbi (which came from Europe) commitment to the King of England and not joining the IRA. The lesson of the play was, we should also be committed to Hashem and not join anything which isn’t for Hashem even if it’s looks enjoyable.
Grand Sing:
Winning Team of Eved theme for the grand sing was the Great Parade. The campers came in through 770 and there was a platform set up for the Rebbe and for Rabbi JJ Hecht. There were beautiful floats and backdrops. There was a section for the carnival and a Ferris wheel was built! The campers were dressed up as marching bands, and staff were dressed up as clowns, chickens, security guards and parade coordinators. A video of the Rebbe by a Lag Boemer parade was played.
