CGI Toronto Announces Head Staff

“It’s a great feeling to learn that you must be doing something right,” said Goldy Grossbaum, Director of Camp Gan Israel of Toronto, about the overwhelming amount of applications received for this year’s upcoming summer season.

Indeed, on the very first day that registration was opened, the girls’ session (July) was filled to capacity. This is truly remarkable, taking into account that an additional double bunk house is being added for this summer season.

So too, Rabbi Yitzchak Grossbaum was pleased to announce that Rabbi Baruch Hecht, the spirited Mashpiah of Tiferes Bachurim in Morristown, will be spending a few weeks at camp, adding to the prevailing Chassidishe atmosphere.

While many of us were looking for some relief from the frigid cold weather, the warmth and chayus of Gan Yisroel was in the air.

Campers from Gan Yisroel 5773 joined together in a Yud Shevat conference call farbregen. Indeed it was the Rebbe who encouraged us to harness the advances of technology for Kedusha, quoting the Mishnah, “The entire creation was created in order to bring honor to Hashem.”

Goldy Grossbaum began the conference with a story and a camp wide Hachlatah, Ruthy Schechter from Toronto, Assistant Director continued the Farbrengen with inspirational stories about the Rebbe, and how to strengthen our hiskashrus. The girls then joined in singing Niggunim together. A feeling of Achdus and pride was felt by all.

The campers are eagerly looking forward to joining in person again at camp this summer. In addition to the double bunk house, a large area is being cleared for an additional sports field and a challenging rope climbing pyramid is being installed.

We are excited and pleased to announce that the Girls Head Counselors are Nechama Lazaroff and Chana Block, both from Texas, USA.

Registration for the boys’ session (August) is now open with spots available, Grades 3-8.
