VIP Bochurim Camp Preps Summer

Registration for VIPBochurim 5776 is now open for their 8th summer program, which boasts the “Five Alive” program directed by educator Rabbi Yoskeh Levin.

FiveAlive was founded by Rabbi Yoskeh Levin on the principle that “within every one of us, there is a leader yearning to emerge.”

For over four decades, Rabbi Levin has run a worldwide campaign to transform and develop healthy and happy adolescent leaders. He has succeeded in inspiring thousands of youth and adults alike, many of whom are now spiritual leaders and mentors in communities around the world.

He ran a youth club for searching teens in Israel for more than 20 years before moving to New York to work out of the famous Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, Lubavitch World Headquarters.

From this small enclave he branches out around the world, teaching, mentoring, and guiding youth and adults. He joined the faculty of the Jewish Educational Trade School (JETS) in 2009 and has been a spiritual guide and an inspiration to the students and staff.

“Yoskeh” uncovers the unique talent and individuality of each person and brings out his hidden potential. He uses creative, innovative, and ever-evolving techniques to instill in others a vibrant sense of G-d’s Torah and G-d’s creations. He derives all of his strength, subject matter, and inspiration from the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. These teachings provide the guidance and direction that enables Yoskeh to invest in every youth, an investment in our collective future.

“FiveAlive” is his signature program, developed and refined over the course of seven years. Through this experiential group study, participants learn to integrate their physical senses within their thinking process.

Senses come alive through the power of understanding generated by deep study and contemplation.

The entry point of Five Alive is the “Gate of Unity” composed by the Mittler Rebbe, Dov Ber. This discourse is referred to as the “keys to Chassidus” (from the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s Hayom Yom, 15 Adar Beis). A person may own the finest palace, but without the keys of entry, its beauty is inaccessible.

“Our groups have delved into this paradigm of study in many beautiful places across the world, building true and everlasting friendships and creating powerful leaders who have changed their lives and by example, are changing the lives of others,” Rabbi Levin says. “We are a family where each individual knows that we are never alone.”

The participating senior members of this year’s summer program are:
R. Aizik Chanin, Refoel Chanin, Menachem Mendel Abrahams, Yossi Rodal and Ovadia Albukerk.

The staff at VIPBochurim believe that in order for the program to succeed “we must be in a comfortable and enjoyable environment, which is why we choose to stay in beautiful accommodating properties.”

The teens also go on outings in order to get out a bit and create new and bonding experiences.

The daily schedule includes Davening, learning, sports and activities. All of these in a way of bonding with each other. “The friendships we make during the program are continued throughout the entire year, both online and on weekend retreats,” staff members said.
