Rabbi Don Yoel Levy OBM was known throughout klal Yisroel as a giant in the Kashrus industry, trailblazer of high standards for Kosher supervision.
Throughout his Kashrus trips he would visit Shluchim all over the world, and his concern for them and their families was legendary.
One cause held a special place in his heart: the Tzeirei Hashluchim Winter Camp by the Shluchim Office.
This past winter, Rabbi Levy dedicated the winter camp divisions in memory of his father, Rabbi Berel Levy A”H, and his daughter Rivka Levy A”H. He and his wife Malka and family visited the camp for a tour, inspiring the campers and sharing very special stories about his father’s experiences with the Rebbe.
Below are some highlights of Rabbi Levy’s visit, including some of the inspirational words and stories he shared with the children, together with photos of his previous visits to the campsite.

I watched the videos shaking . How is that that one day some one is here and next they are not . A whole family’s world turned upside down . I cried as I watched this . We need Ahvas chinam !!! Even when it’s difficult ! Even during tishrei … even when we want to say what we think . Please stop ! And think !
Rabbi Levy was a great presence and such a special man. Anyone who turned to him for money was never turned away no matter what. He treated people with Kavod and didn’t look down on anyone. I’m so sorry for his family
He came to camp many times always spoke and smiled to all of us .
