On the final Friday of the summer, campers and staff gathered to celebrate the achievements of all campers as part their 12th annual MBP Award ceremony.
This included 6 full Mesechtos, 110 Perakim Mishnayos, 1,213 Mishnas, 25 Perakim Tanya and 5,006 lines of Tanya. A total of 49,514 lines of Torah, shattering their previous record of 45,403 set the year before.
The program is one that everyone enjoys and looks forward to an entire year; all campers were involved and successful tested on a respectable amount of Torah.
A video showing the Rebbe’s appreciation for such gifts from his Chassidim was followed by the announcement of the summer’s aforementioned accomplishments.
Campers with the highest amount of points were then honored: 1st Place: Yisroel Sa’adia Doch. 2nd Place: Avraham Thaler. 3rd place: Sholom Sossonko.
Each camper was then called up to receive their sefer or seforim. Accompanying him to the stage was a multimedia presentation, displaying their picture, points, major learning achievements and seforim.
The program and seforim purchased was underwritten by several individuals, including Cong. Anshei Lubavitch of Miami Florida (under the guidance of Rabbi Yitzchok Meir Teitelbaum and Rabbi Dovid Schapiro) and several anonymous Miami families.
A special thank you was given to two special individuals; Rabbi Dovid Zirkind of baalpeh.org, whose database allowed camp to keep track of each camper’s progress and keeping parents up to date by email; and to Rabbi Sholom Heidingsfeld of Cheder Menachem, LA, for the use of his MBP Handbook – a work that camp has since expanded to hold double the content.
The administration and camp staff of Camp Gan Israel Florida, under the leadership of Rabbi Yossi Biston and Rabbi Yossi Goldblatt, wish all campers continued success in their limudim. It is their hope that the campers’ accomplishments and achievements continue into the school year, give much nachas to the Rebbe and as explained in the Rebbe’s Sichos, bring about the revelation of Moshiach Now!
You all are a true example of Am Yisroel at it’s best !
Keep the Learning and wonderful Midos Strong and invigorating1
May you all be bentched with a tremendously powerful year in gezunt ruchnius gashmius and joy with Moshiach !
Ksiva vchasima tova !

Thank you Rabbi Biston and Rabbi Goldblatt for providing our son for yet another memorable summer. With school costs as they are, camp accepted our son (and I’m sure others as well) on scholarship, to which we are eternally grateful for. May the zechus keep you and camp in good stead and may Hashem and the Rebbe bless you to continue to excel in providing the best summer experience to our children for years to come!
