Gan Yisroel New York Welcomes New Mashpia

Camp Gan Yisroel New York is proud to announce that Rabbi Moshe Aaron Geisinsky of Pittsburgh Zal, will be joining the camp this summer as Mashpia.

Rabbi Geisinsky will focus on strengthening the Chassidishe atmosphere among both staff and campers. Through daily shiurim, farbrengens, and personal guidance, he’ll help ensure that even during the summer break, bochurim stay connected to learning and continue growing in their Yidishkeit and Chassidishkeit.

“Camp is not just a break from yeshiva—it’s a time to grow,” said Rabbi Geisinsky. “Our goal is to create a space where every bochur feels the warmth of Chassidus and grows from it, all while enjoying all the excitement that camp offers.”

He joins Rabbi Sholom Baras, the camp’s legendary Learning Director of nearly 40 years, who remains a pillar of chinuch in Gan Yisroel—guiding both campers and staff with care, dedication, and a deep understanding of how to reach each child.

“This couldn’t come at a better time,” said Rabbi Yossi Futerfas, Director of Camp Gan Yisroel. “As we mark 70 years since the Rebbe founded Gan Yisroel New York, Rabbi Geisinsky’s addition is a powerful step in ensuring this summer is filled with true Chassidishe energy—for both campers and staff.”
