The Jewish community of Dnipro continues its consistent work in organizing meaningful summer recreation for children. Starting August 5, three new day camps opened simultaneously: one for children aged 3–5, one for girls aged 6–14, and one for boys aged 7–14.
The boys’ camp, titled “Geulah in Every Home”, is based at the Junior Yeshiva named after Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson. Twenty-five boys are participating in a rich program that includes outdoor games, excursions, creative workshops, and a variety of Chassidic learning sessions. The camp is led by Rabbi Akiva Romanovsky, with Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Nachshon serving as the head counselor.
The girls’ camp, called “PlayBack”, carries the slogan: “The Power of Women is Our Victory.” The concept is built around an imaginative game board where the girls progress through a symbolic journey, collecting cards that feature important locations and figures of Jewish Dnipro. Forty girls will enjoy this engaging experience. The camp is hosted at the Beit Chana International Humanitarian and Pedagogical Institute, under the leadership of Director Leah Lazareva and Head Counselor Sheina Segal, who promised every camper that this will be “the most exciting game of the summer.”
For the youngest participants, the “Mikdash Kids” camp is also being held at the Beit Chana Institute, directed by Malka Muzikina, with Dvosa Romanovskaya and Fanya Gaysinskaya as head counselors. Thirty toddlers will take part in a fun-filled program of games, contests, and educational activities. A special mission awaits them: for every mitzvah or good deed completed, children will earn “bricks” to place on a virtual model of the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple), symbolically taking part in rebuilding the Temple and bringing closer the full and final Redemption.
“All three camps organized by the Jewish Community of Dnipro are designed to help children enjoy the final month of summer in a joyful, meaningful way,” says Rabbi Akiva Romanovsky, head of the boys’ camp. “While each camp reflects the different needs of age and gender, they all share the same core idea – to fill summer days with Chassidic joy and the spirit of Yiddishkeit, bringing great nachas to the Rebbe.”
