“In between trips, we were inspired by the mesiras nefesh, farbrengens and stories of local shluchim,” said head counsellor, Chava Davidoff, who led the camp along with Chavele Tiefenbrun, Chaya Junik and Esther Rimler.

The girl’s turned their inspiration to action during camp, by serving as counsellors in Camp Gan Yisrael, a day camp for the Johannesburg Jewish community, which attracts children of all backgrounds and affiliations. “It felt great to give back to the community which had welcomed us so warmly,” said Tzivie Rabin.

The South Africa Travelling Camp is directed by Rabbi Pini and Rochie Pink under the auspices of Chabad House of Johannesburg.
