Father of CCH

Dear campers,

Chodesh Nissan is the most

important month for us since

it is the Chodesh Hageulah,

and our main focus is

bringing the Geula! The

Rebbe said many times that

Nissan is a special month for

the coming of the Geulah.

Many people don’t know that

the Rebbe spoke about

Moshiach in the early years

too. At the “Moshiach

Seuda” in 5712 the Rebbe

said that leaving Mitzraim

was the beginning and the

Koach for the Geulah. From

here we understand that the

Inyan of Geulah already exists

even now in the time of

Golus.

In the Medrash it records a

story with an Arab farmer that

his cow mooed twice, the first

time when he said that the

Beis Hamikdash was

destroyed, and the second

when he said that Moshiach

was born. Here too we see

that even in a time of Golus

Moshiach still existed, and

that’s why the Amoraim

where arguing which one of

their Rebbes is Moshiach

because Moshiach was around

then too!! The Frierdiker

Rebbe used to dance the

“Moshiach Tance” on

Acharon Shel Pesach. It is

called so because Moshiach is

dancing with us!

From all this we can

understand what the Rebbe

said on 28 Nissan that he has

done all that he can and now

it depends on us. Because

from day one Moshiach has

already been here, and all we

need is to be stubborn and

make it happen!! It is

interesting because if we look

back to that Farbrengen in

5712 the Rebbe said “Chutzpa

even used towards Hashem

helps” therefore we should

ask for Moshiach with

Chutzpa and for sure we will

be Zoche to the Geula

Ha’amitis V’hashlaima

NOW!!!

If you are a camper, you are REALLY lucky, because you don’t have to decide what position to take this summer.

If you are a staff member, you are also lucky, because at least you are not a garbage collector.

In order to help our fellow staff members, we bring you a special list which only the directors use, showing the qualities needed for each position.

Head Counselor: Must have a loud voice and a scary looking face.

Learning Director: Must have a golf cart license and puppets.

Counselor: Must be Chai B’Seret and have experience killing flies with a Croc.

Learning Teacher: Must be talented enough to keep himself busy for 21 hours a day.

OD: Same as learning teacher just 24 hours.

Waiter: Must not enjoy eating on the job.

PA Manager: Must not know how to tell the time.

ATM: Must run the camp.

Director: Must know that there are more jobs than this in camp.

Oh, I did it again. Yup you

guessed it, the one thing I have to

do every month and it’s the last

second that I get to write the

interview.

So frantically I ran to 770 even

though Seder ended

hours before this. I

hoped someone would

still be around falling

asleep over their

Rambam and I could

interview them. I

walked into 770 and it

was empty, the lights

were off and there

wasn't even any music playing any

more.

I walked out a bit disappointed,

and started my walk down a quiet

and deserted Kingston Ave. As I

crossed over Crown Street and

saw the early morning bakers

baking in the Kingston Bake Shop,

I heard someone singing horribly

off tune. I turned down

Montgomery and followed the

noise. A left on Brooklyn and a

right on Sterling and there he was.

He stood 6 foot 7 and looked

about 350 pounds (but he could

have been wearing baggy clothing

and standing on crates). He

wore a backwards cap, had

his shoes on the wrong feet,

had two balloons attached

to his wrist and wore

glasses that were triple the

size of his head and were

missing lenses!

He stopped singing much to

my dismay and looked up. I

looked at him; he looked at me

and then suddenly jumped up and

started dancing giving me a huge

smile and even bigger hug. We got

to talking - which seemed like a

bad idea at 3:00 in the morning -

and I found out, amazingly that I

was talking to the future Night

Activity Director of Chayolei

5772! What? No way!


I introduced myself... well let me

just tell you how our conversation

went.

CN: Hey, Hey! Calm down, stop

FNAD??S: Chayolei Hamelech!

CN: NOOOO WAaaAy! I'm the

editor’s son-in-law’s friend and I'm

looking to interview someone and

I just found you!

FNAD??S: OHHHH, stay away

then. This is a secret!

CN: Just tell me your name, I beg

you?

FNAD??S: Never!

CN: Tell me something

FNAD??S: BOO!

CN: Okay, you're impossible to

deal with.

FNAD??S: Okay, one thing - it’s

g o i n g t o b e a m a z i n g l y

bundled into bags of fun more fun

and crazzziness! And I can't wait!

CN: Neither can I! Let's dance

no fear....

25 minutes later

The editors of the Chayolei monthly newsletter

would like to wish a hearty

Mazel Tov

To our devoted former staff member and beloved

Chayolei family member

Yossi Teleshevsky On the occasion of his engagement

There is so much happening here in Chayolei that we

decided to tell you all about it:

1. The 2nd annual reunion will be taking place on

Wednesday, ב ניסן“י . See you there!

2. Don’t forget to do the Mivtzah (page 16) and get your

prize!

Switzerland is a country which

has millions of dollars which they

and the Nazis stole from the

Jewish people during World War

2. They are now

giving some of it

back to the Jews.

The amounts of

money that they

are giving back

now keeps on

getting bigger and

bigger. In addition

i t h a s b e e n

discovered that Spain, Argentina,

Portugal, China, France, Britain,

and believe it or not the U.S. also

owe us a lot of money for stolen

objects which the Nazis hid in

these countries. The list of

countries involved in this

"business" just keeps on growing.

There is another 'riches-miracle'

taking place at the present time.

You'll be delighted to know that

oil has been discovered in Israel.

It cannot be seen of course, but

special experts know for a fact

that it's there and how much.

Believe it or not 1,800,000,000

barrels worth! That's billions and

billions of dollars worth. (Maybe

trillions).

And if that's not enough, then

listen to this: a few short months

ago scuba divers at

the shores of a city

called Ashkelon, in

Er e tz Y i sr ae l ,

discovered old

sunken ships that

are between a

hundred and two

hundred years old

with valuable coins

and other precious items inside.

It's interesting that in the times of

king Shlomo too, the waters of the

seas brought sunken ships to the

shores of Eretz Yisrael. The

Midrash says that this was where

he got the money to build the Beis

Hamikdash. It also says in the

Midrash that when Moshiach

comes the Jewish people will

receive treasures that are hidden

in the sands of the sea. And so, it

would appear that now too,

treasure-laden ships have been

brought by Hashem to Eretz

Yisroel in preparation for the

building of the third Beis

HaMikdosh!

The Israeli consul in the

Philippines told the Shliach

Rabbi Levy, “I heard about an

older Jew who is in prison about

a two-hour flight away from

Manila.”

Rabbi Levy felt sorry for the

imprisoned Jew, and in his mind

he addressed the Rebbe and

said, “Rebbe, I really want to go

see him and see how I can be of

help to him, but I don’t have the

money for a ticket. If Hashem

will send me money for a ticket,

I will go and see him.”

Not long afterward, Rabbi Levi

received a phone call from one

of the Kosher supervision

agencies. “We would like you to

fly to a certain area of the

Philippines in order to supervise

the production of a food item in

a local factory.”

Rabbi Levy felt like pinching

himself to make sure he wasn’t

dreaming. He had just asked

Hashem to send him money for

a ticket and here it was! The area

the factory was located was

precisely the place where the jail

was.

The Kashrus agency ordered a

ticket and Rabbi Levy took the

flight. Upon arriving at the

prison and managing to get in,

he met the older Jew, who was

excited to see him. The man told

him, “I was very wealthy and

doing well in business until

things began going downhill. As

a result, I got caught up in scams

involving large sums of money. I

was caught and sentenced to sit

here in jail. The conditions here


13

are horrendous and after a while

I decided to end my life.”

“I decided to give myself one last

chance. I said to G-d that if he

didn’t want me to take this

drastic step, he should give me a

sign. And you arrived! You are

the sign!”

Rabbi Levy understood why

Hashem had sent him to that

forsaken place. From that point

on, he took care of the

imprisoned Jew. He was able to

bring Tefillin to the prison, and

from that day on the man put on

Tefillin every day.

At a certain point, the prisoner

was transferred to Manila, where

he was closer to Rabbi Levy. On

Pesach night, Rabbi Levy walked

a long way in order to bring him

Matzos and strengthen his spirits.

He told the man about the Rebbe

and about Yiddishkeit, and the

man’s faith became stronger.

On his walk back to the Chabad

house, Rabbi Levy stopped for a

rest. He met a couple who told

him that their ancestors were

Marranos from Spain who had

arrived in the Philippines via

Cuba. The couple asked Rabbi

Levy where he was coming from

and Rabbi Levy told them. It

turned out that the couple was

very wealthy and they owned a

business located directly opposite

the prison the man was in. They

began delivering food products

to him, which greatly lifted his

spirits.

Rabbi Levy also arranged for a

Filipino, who observes the

Noahide laws, to visit the inmate

and bring him food packages.

One day this Filipino told Rabbi

Levy that the man had died in

jail. The community brought him

to a Jewish burial in Manila.

Although he unfortunately was

unable to taste freedom before his

death, he died embraced with the

love of the Jewish community

and the Shliach of the Rebbe, who

had been sent to his post just in

the right time.

Rabbi Chaim Ben Atar was known to be a smart man with good Middos. His Grandfather taught him to work with Jewelry.

A Tzadik In The Lions Den 1

However the main thing in his life was Learning Torah, so he would work just enough to support himself, and the rest of the time he would learn. His boss did not like Jews, however he liked R' Chaim a lot because he was an honest man, so he let him work when he wanted to.

Mission: In honor of א ניסן“י the 110th birthday of the

Rebbe Mh”m, do something with that number that will

be a suitable present for the Rebbe!

For example learn 110 lines of one of the Rebbe’s Seforim

If you do the mission, call 347-913-5772 before Pesach

and leave your full name, and you will receive a prize!

The following missions are not only for Chayolei Hamelech campers, but for

anyone who wishes to join! Pass the word around amongst your friends!

Erev Pesach in the morning, a Siyum was being made for the first born. Berel was standing there waiting for the Siyum to start when he noticed a Chassid with his one year old child standing there.

Shocked Berel asked “Why do you bring your one year old so early in the morning”?!

The father answered simply that he wants to be able to feed his son this morning! Berel asked him with surprise “But your son doesn't understand anything anyway so what will it help”?! The father replied “I also don’t understand, what’s the difference between me and him”?!!

Its clear from this story that it does not make a difference if it’s harder for one to learn Torah it is still equally a Mitzvah on everyone.
