The legendary staff of TAG Academy and VIP Bochurim are gearing up for what promises to be the most amazing summer program ever for Bochurim aged 14 – 18.
The summer program will once again be hosted in South Florida on the beautiful, 6.5 acre lakefront campus of Chabad SWB in Cooper City, also home to the trailblazing TAG Academy.
Under the leadership of Rabbi Zalmy Raksin and Rabbi Pinny Andrusier, TAG-VIP is excited to also announce that Dovid Chanin will be coming on as Head Shliach and Dovi Brody as Head Counselor.
Celebrating its 13th year, the VIP summer program prides itself for being on the cutting edge of Jewish education, finding innovative ways for the teens to connect to Hashem and Chassidishkeit. Rabbi Yoskah Levin will be on-hand as Mashpia to oversee a newly formed Chassidic Marine Corps where the Bochurim earn rank and are appointed as officers. Levin’s famous “Five-Alive” method of group learning is already widely successful and extremely popular with the Bochurim who have participated in the past. “Five – Alive” is in fact used by many of the alternative Yeshivos throughout the world.
Unique to this summer’s schedule, TAG-VIP will also be adding several hands-on courses and activities to provide each Bochur with life-long skills, while simultaneously keeping them intrigued, engaged and excited.
Some of the courses planned include:
Introductory Hatzalah Training – Hatzalah paramedic Thomas Diner will be training the teens in a comprehensive 5 week CPR, Advanced First-Aid and introductory EMT course.
Advanced Krav Maga – To instill confidence, emotional and physical strength, team building and leadership skills, Shomer 360’s Captain Eilon Even-Esh, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and an elite unit of the IDF, will be teaching advanced Krav-Maga, Martial Arts and other tactical exercises within a Torah-observant framework.
Scuba Diving – Plans are also underway for the teens to become licensed scuba divers.
In addition, the summer schedule will be packed with memorable trips, shabbatons, and exciting adventures around Florida.
While on base, the Chabad SWB Campus has proven to be the perfect home to TAG and VIP. Centrally located between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, the center offers countless amenities including a full gym, creative arts studio, swimming pool, spacious dorm rooms with private bathrooms, recreational lounge, and a beautiful lake with kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The campus provides for the bochurim the ideal environment to grow physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.
Limited Space Available for Summer: The summer program will take place July 12th / 13 Tamuz – August 16th / 19 Av.
