Thank you so much to Rabbi Moshe Leiblich of Wilmington ,North Carolina for sending Ari a t-shirt and making him part of their camp in NC! We hope that it will make u proud!

Gan Izzy of East Vally -Chandler ,Arizona



Rabbi Mendy Lipskier has been one of Ari's biggest supporters. From Day one- he was one of the first to respond.Thank you for those first couple of e-mails and for the chizuk that it gave me. CGI EV were very excited that Ari would be wearing their camp shirt all the way in Boca Raton ,FL. The honor though is all Ari's. he is proud to be wearing the camp shirt of Gan Israel East Vally! They wanted to sign their names on his shirt -however they felt they did not want to mess up the shirt ,and so they all signed their names on a letter that HC Shainy sent out from all the campers,Rabbi Mendy and Shterney Deitch and of course Rabbi Mendy and Tzipi Lipskier. Thank you! In these pictures Ari is using one of his therapy tools to help him map out his plans for the day! he takes it very seriously :)

Rabbi Tennenhaus was there with his camp and I,when i came with my good friend Hudis to sneak a peak at Ari with CGI Boca Raton.There was a three ring circus going on and the Rabbi still took a few minutes to hear about Ari. Thank you for sending out a t-shirt for Ari! Who doesn't love a circus!

Thank you to Chaya Eherinreich and all her kinderlach for the amazing package that they sent from Chestnut Ridge,NY. Chaya has been a classmate of mine since elementary scool,and when word came around about my project for Ari -she jumped at the chance to be involved. Thank you for the beautiful newsletter from CGI Rockland County- it really made Ari feel like he was a part of the camp! and please tell your kids that the pictures they sent were so so and yes,one more so- nice.Thank you.
Ari decided he wanted to do a little garden work at camp today,I think the grass is pretty much watered for the rest of the month!

Camp Gan Israel of Denmark



One of my dearest friends Brocha Werner has been a huge part of our support system when we lived in Crown Heights. Brocha has made us part of her family. Brocha's brother and sister-in-law the Lowenthals from Velbekommen,Denmark are shluchim and run the CGI Denmark. When I contacted Rochel she was so happy to include Ari in their camp! Thank you Rochel for the t-shirt and for being a great Bnos Leader (when i was in High School). Wishing your family many many more simchas!

Beverly Hills,CA CGI





This t-shirt came all the way from Camp Gan Israel of Beverly Hills, CA. The Head Counselor of the Camp Mushka Ciment ,sent out a beautiful letter with a quilt of pictures from some of the cutest campers in CGI Beverly Hills! They spoke about Ari at line up and took the time to make cards for Ari. They expressed that they can't wait till Ari can come to their camp so they can all meet him in person! The Campers all signed their names on Ari's shirt because they wanted Ari to have a shirt of his very own. Thank you to the shluchim and directors of the camp , and a sincere thank you to Mushka!HC of the year!
