The Week in Review - from our Director's Desk:
Putting our best foot forward! WOW! What great walkers we are! Before we began our Tzedakah Walk-A-Thon, we disused the importance of giving tzedakah—how it not only helps others, but it helps us as well. We then gave tzedakah and began our walk-a-thon. We walked zigzagged, ran, skipped, and even flapped our arms like birds singing tzedakah songs. We didn’t even realize that the time was racing right by. We sure did take the ‘right steps’ in helping others. There are still monies coming in; IY”H next week we will print the total.
If anyone would like to contribute to the families of victims in Israel, please send your contribution to camp ASAP. All tzedakah monies will be distributed by Rabbi Wolowik and the 300+ Chabad Centers throughtout Israel.
Equipped with shovels, pails and sifters we went digging in the sand for special big gold tzedakah coins. When we struck ‘tzedakah gold’, we shouted “tzedaka’ and placed the ‘gold’ in a tzedakah box. Boy was that fun!
Dressed as lions, tigers, leopards, cats, and even with different color whiskers we came to camp this past Tuesday. We sang a variety of songs roaring like a lion, squeaking like a mouse, and meowing like a cat. A short time later, we all made our very own masks with creative whiskers and played follow the whiskered leader. What a wild time we had at the zoo. oops! At camp!
Can you jingle like a pushka? Can you roll like a coin? Can you sway like a dollar bill? Those were some of our fun games we played at our Camp Gan Israel Tzedakah Fun Fair. What an incredible way to educate our campers about tzedakah in a fun filled way!
“The wheels on the FUN BUS go round and round… What? A big green bus which we can play on? We couldn't believe our eyes, we tumbled, climbed on monkey bars, crawled through a huge donut and the only way to get out of the bus was sliding out on a huge slide. Fun! Fun! Fun!!
“Splish Splash I was taking a bath….” (don’t worry we didn’t teach this song) We had such an amazing time at camp this past Thursday as we splashed around in our water center set up for this fabulous day. We played in a huge beach ball sprinkler, mini basketball and tons of water. We even had an area in our water center with boats, pails and balls. What a ’wetantastic’ day we had!
As we end a fun filled week in camp our camp spirit is soaring! Check us out on the web: http://www.cgi5towns.com/.

IDF forces are fighting a critical war in defense of Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael. The daily barrage of deadly rocket fire has forced our brethren in northern Israel to evacuate, while families who have nowhere to go, swelter in bomb shelters. The stress is real, and the need for support is urgent. Now It's Our Turn.
