On the beautiful campgrounds of Glendale, California, Every year - Yaldei Hashluchim - the children of Chabad emissaries from around the world, gather together in person for a week of rejuvenation. The camp serves Young Shluchim - boys and girls - who live outside of established Jewish communities and don’t get to experience year-round what many other Jewish children take for granted.
Recently as the buses pulled away from the picturesque campgrounds, and the children were returning from the Young Children Winter Camp, a sense of renewed energy was palpable.
Throughout the week, the camp’s programming reinforced the core values of love and acceptance of each and every Jew, and instilled a deep sense of pride and responsibility in the campers. “Our goal is to create an environment where the young Shluchim can recharge, connect, and draw strength for their vital mission,” says Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, Executive Director of Merkos 302 and Chairman of MyShliach.
