Grand Sukkos Reunion

Dozens of Chayolei campers along with their friends came together today for a grand reunion. After having a blast bowling, we crossed the street to a park and enjoyed fresh pizza, drinks and allot of fun. Stay tuned for all the exciting programs this winter!

You're invited!

Mivtzah Shofar

On both days of Rosh Hashana, many campers accompanied by our devoted staff members, went on Mivtzah Shofar to the prospect park - park slope area, blowing Shofar for dozens of Yidden who didn't hear yet that day, as the Rebbe instructed.

Keep In Touch!

Devoted staff members are working tirelessly for the chayolei "keep in touch" program.

A song Levi wants to share with you:

Leaving Camp And Arriving In Crown Heights

The last night of camp, several bunks sat together for bonfires with camp songs, In the morning we all said the last goodbyes and boarded the buses. We B"H arrived safely in Crown heights, where campers headed home.

Grand Banquet

UPDATED: Sunday night, campers and staff got together for the grand banquet of summer 5773. With many inspiring speeches, funny Grammen, goodbye songs, and most importantly the awards for best campers and students, bunk and learning class competition winners, sports, as well as those highest ranking in Tanya Ba'al Peh and Kluger. We all left truly feeling "Chayolei, i will never say goodbye..." but rather keep its message going throughout the winter.

Staff Banquet

On Motzei Shabbos, all staff gathered for a farewell banquet - Melave Malka, where the camp administration showed their appreciation for the dedicated staff members.

Tzivos Hashem Rally

As the clock keeps ticking and camp comes to a close, campers gathered into the Shul for a rally of Torah, Teffila, Tzedaka, and Hachlatos Tovos. Every camper left with a strong resolution to make the Rebbe proud, and bring Moshiach now! Each camper then received a special souvenier package to take home with him.

Color War Winners Announced

The winners of Moshiach war 5773 were announced: team Who!

Grand scene 5773

As the sun began to set, both teams got dressed into their costumes. Team When who were dressed as iPods playing Rebbe videos entered the Shul to find a full apple store, with many electronic appliances, all showing how they are used to spread Torah and Chassidus - a clear sign of Moshiach's imminent arrival. Team Who dressed as the Yidden leaving Mitzrayim, and entered the Shul to find themselves in the midst of the desert with Krias Yam Suf and Matan Torah on the sides. The night continued with a reenactment of the story of yetzias mitzrayim, the heartfelt singing of this year's 6 new beautiful camp songs, comedy songs, Toichen speeches, and a lot of and lively singing and dancing, all with much Achdus between the teams.

Moshiach War Day 3

The third and final day of Moshiach war 5773 was really fun packed, with a heated debate about Moshiach issues between the two generals, two brand new Alma matter songs being taught, and of course, what we have all waited for - the grand scene (next post).

Plays

We present here a picture gallery of the two plays.

Moshiach War Day 2

The second day of color war started with a bang, with representatives of each team presenting their team's toichen to the whole camp in a theme speech. Later on in the day we learnt and sang our new theme songs, and enjoyed relay races in the pool. While that was happening, staff were doing the last minute preparations for the most amazing plays of color war 5773.

Moshiach War Day 1

After what seemed to be a little fight between some staff ended with the announcement of color war! Campers then headed to the Shul for the announcing and splitting of the teams. The two team names are: 'who' (is Moshiach?), and 'when' (is he coming?). The goal of this war is that every camper should leave knowing the importance of Moshiach's identity, and the importance of believing he is coming now. After Mincha, we all sat down and watched four humorous skits, bringing out the Toichen of the two teams.
