Rebbetzin Chave Hecht, founder and director of Camp Emunah announced the appointment of new management over all divisions of Camp Emunah.
Rabbi Hanoch and Rebbetzin Tzivie Hecht, Shluchim to Dutchess County, New York, were recently chosen to serve as Administrative Directors of Camp Emunah, including junior and senior divisions, teen camp, the sunshine bunk, the Emunah culinary camp and the traveling Shluchos camp.
“It is an incredible Z’chus to be part of the camp to which the Rebbe visited and showed such care and interest,” said Rebbetzin Tzivie Hecht.
“Emunah is the first camp in Lubavitch and was founded with the Rebbe’s direct attention. I’m humbled by the opportunity to be part of the team which will bring Camp Emunah to new heights.”
The administration and along with the dedicated staff is launching a new array of initiatives for the summer, that will continue to innovate the camp experience for the kids, staff, and families.
Camp Emunah is entering its 66th year, attracts campers from around the globe and has several thousands of alumnus all over the world. The Camp was founded in 1953 by the Rabbi Jacob “JJ” Hecht (obm) and Rebbetzin Chave Hecht (zzg). Originally started as a summer option for the girls of Released Time, the Camp was launched as the very first orthodox Jewish overnight camp for girls in the Catskills.

I had the honor of visiting their Chabad house AND seeing the stunning mikvah! These are shluchIim who are ready to change the world! Camp emunah has always been the heart and soul of Lubavich girls camping and now I am sure it will reach new heights! Hatzlocha Raba!!
Good choice, all the best of luck
This is such exciting news! I hear they’re really working hard to make camp better than ever… My years in Emunah were some of the greatest summers of my life, and now my daughters are having the same experience! I suggest everyone sign up quickly before spots fill up…

I have such fond memories of Emunah in the 70’s. What is Tzivie’s maiden name?
I hear they’re really upping their game! Signing up my daughter before it gets full… https://www.campemunah.com/registration/login
Generations of Hechts have been in charge, as administrators, counselors, HC in all divisions. Some were amazing…others, not so great. I think this dynamic duo will be very good, especially if they really listen to the staff & campers.
Are these added directors or are the taking over someone?
Is leah davidson coming back? Who are the directors of bjj this year?
Hatzlocha Rabah! I hope you will be able to bring Sarah Hecht back to Teen Camp! What an amazing experience I had in teen camp, first as a camper, and then working as a counselor under her! Teen Camp was something else!! Please come work there again!
And Rebitzen Hecht — we NEED you in camp — as the leader, the Rebitzen, the role model, the one we all love, the “mother of us all” the “Bubby of us all” — the one that keeps us all sane — and smiling!!
Camp Emunah has slowly been improving the program, and it has really kept up a solid quality program! We had daughter’s in teen camp and junior camp last summer and they had a wonderful experience! We had traveled to the other options, but felt that they are all similar, and Emunah is so well-proved and convenient… we will stick with good ole Emunah! Thank you Hecht family.
You can take a girl out of emunah but you can’t take emunah out of a girl
Truly the best camp ever with AMAZING, LOVING, CARING, SWEETEST staff in the world especially rebbetzion hecht, just like her husband rabbi jj hecht always caring for everybody always looking after each Yiddishe neshama
I think rabbi chanoch and tizvi hecht are going to do an amazing job and bring lots of chayus to the one and only rebbes camp
Rebbetzin Hecht is NOT retiring! She is very much director and Rebbetzin of her beloved Camp! Her devoted grandchildren will be working alongside her and taking much direction from her! Camp Emunah will continue to flourish iyh
an unparalleled example of an aishes chayil and an askunnees like no other. She was way ahead of her time in shouldering responsibilities usually reserved for a man. The camp could never have grown into what it is today without her. to me she is the foundation stone of Camp Emunah, always there to take care of the nitty gritty when her husband, the unforgettable Rabbi J.J. Hecht was in the city tending to his various responsibilities, and always there to keep an eye on every single camper individually. she may be officially retiring but if the new administration is… Read more »
Thank you so much for your years of leadership and devotion. I was the recipient of an enormous, life-altering chesed that you did for a Beth Rivka girl and I am certain that there were countless unknown other kind deeds. May you be blessed with endless health and nachas from your amazing family. And may we be zochar to see your beloved Rabbi JJ Hecht back with us NOW !
If chanoch is involved the will be good! Great choice!
Great choice. Young blood! Can’t wait to see camp thrive
Good luck all
Much Hatzolocha. May this new chapter bring mazel and an amazing future summers to our girls.
Amazing choice! Amazing Shluchim! Amazing Couple!!
Just signed my 2 daughters up for a summer of fun at Camp Emunah! The Rebbe’s Camp!
Tzivie and Chanochi, what an incredible zchus to be the ones to carry on the torch! Rebbetzin Hecht could not have picked a better duo for the job. Hatzlacha Raba!
We are so proud of you!!
The Itzinger co 🙂
We need sara hecht back as director of teen camp. Last year just wasn’t the same
I want to personally thank Sara for creating Teen camp.
She set a precedent that’s difficult to follow. Her belief
In Hashem and her devotion to our Rebbe never made her
lose her way.
She is an incredible role model. She will be missed. I hope
She knows that it is because of her never ending dedication
that made teen camp the best camp in the world.
Wishing rabbi Hanoch & Rabbetzin Tzivie much success in this awesome responsibility. Always a fan of Rebbetzin Hecht and the Hecht family.
This couple thank Gd have had a lot of experience and have the personalities to do a great job!
Blessings
To see family members continue Rabbi Jj Hecht legacy
Much hatzlocha!
This wonderful camp with a great history should go from strength to strength in giving our girls the inspiring summers that will build them up in the very best ways and stay with them for a lifetime!!
YEHUDIS BLUMING is the only thing that will get this camp going like iwas before….take her back and all the campers will come running back.THE ONLY SOLUTION!!!
If u guys take yehudis Bluming back ur camp will rock!!last year all the teens said just wasn’t the same without her
I have spent some weekends at their Chabad of duchess and was inspired by their dedication and how they interact with people. Rebbetzin Hecht has made a good choice to join her on her team and they are fortunate to work under her guidance.
Hatzlocha Rabba!!!
I got a good initiative for you to help bring Camp Emunah to new heights. Lower tuition to $200.00 a month so all our girls can afford to go to the “Rebbes Camp”.
What a fantastic choice! Hatzlocha Raba!
