Boys who spent the summer in CGI Parksville and CGI Montreal who joined a Shabbos Mevorchim Tehillim contest this summer gathered for their prizes and for a special raffle.
Children were encouraged to recite at least 30 kapitlach of Tehillim on Shabbos Mevorchim Elul, and were entered into a raffle.
The project is held in memory of the bochur Shmuel Karnowsky OBM, who passed away at the young age of 15, and has grown and seen great success since being founded in his memory.
Shmuel’s parents, Osher and Rivka Karnowsky, wanted to do something special to honor the memory of their son, who was a straight-alef student and a diligent bochur who was beloved by his peers.
“We all know the great power of reciting words of Tehillim, and the many brochos which come from it, especially when it comes to children,” said Rabbi Moshe Pinson, President of Bais Shmuel Chabad in Crown Heights, who organized the initiative.
Boys from Camp Gan Israel of Parksville gathered at 770 and boys from Camp Gan Israel of Montreal gathered at the event hall at 580 Crown Street for the exciting distribution of the prizes this week.
Miss you Shmuel!!
