This past Shabbos, Camp Silver Gan Israel in Huntington Beach, CA hosted their annual Gan Izzy counselor Shabbaton on the beautiful 11-acre campus of the Hebrew Academy.
The beautiful Shabbos of Achdus, organized by Rabbi Sender and Chami Engel, was attended by counselors of 10 camps from around Southern California. Close to 80 girls joined in a Shabbos of camaraderie, learning, relaxation and fun.
Dr. Hilary Buff, PsyD gave talks throughout Shabbos on the themes of choosing happiness and staying positive.
Counselors were also treated to some entertaining workshops by Rabbi Zalmy Kudan and Rabbi Moshe Weinbaum as well as Chassidus with Rabbi Moshe Yosef Engel and Pirkei Avos with Mrs. Shterna Kudan.
As one counselor wrote, “I am leaving here invigorated and inspired to reach every child in my bunk as that is my summer shlichus.”
