When singer Yoni Zigelbaum, currently a counselor at Camp Gan Israel Miami, was asked to prepare a concert for the campers in one week, he showed no hesitation.
When asked by Shliach and camp director Rabbi Mendy Weiss if it was possible, he immediately replied “let’s do it! I don’t care who comes, as long as our kids in camp have a great night.”
After publicizing the concert through flyers, emails and facebook, a crowd of over 200 showed up for an evening of music, pizza and dancing.
The beautiful event took place at Camp Gan Israel Miami – Lubavitch Educational Center with a packed auditorium of energized men, women and children.
Parents and children from all around South Florida came to be part of this exciting night, which also featured a rally of psukim and Tehillim for Tinok Pinchas Refoel Ben Yehudis, with a special song performed by Yoni in Pinchos Refoel’s honor, as well as a Camp Gan Izzy Boys Choir.
Yoni rocked the house, wearing a Gan Yisroel T-shirt over a white dress shirt, and Boca musician Ari Katan played as the crowd jumped, clapped and danced with campers on their shoulders.
“I am in complete awe, I didn’t dream we’d have such a full house!” exclaimed Yoni at the end of the concert. “Tonight is a night I will never forget!”
It was an unforgettable evening and an enjoyable time was had by all.
Mrs. Tzippy Weiss, producer of the event, thanked Yoni for his tireless efforts on behalf of the camp. “We are so proud and honored to have him as a staff member,” she said. She also thanked the rest of the camp’s staff for an unforgettable evening.

it was a well scripted, emotional, and sincere performance. the energy it the room was extremely strong, yoni knows how to move and control his audience, thats forsure. to yoni: keep it up, and with grip you have on the crowd, always infuse in them the good, sincere message of jewish faith like you did at this concert.
Yoni is a real mentch and it’s been a pleasure getting to know him really well. While this brings a huge smile to my face, it’s no surprise at all. He has a heart of gold and wish the tremendous gift that Hashem gave him, I’m excited to see Yoni bring smiles to the faces of everyone he touches for many, many years to come.
Way to go Yoni! I’m so proud of you.
