Back for the second year, Cheder Chabad Baltimore’s Summer Program published a Kovetz Haoros, with talmidim participating by submitting questions and challenging their friends and staff to find answers. BH, this adds a tremendous Chayus and Koch in learning Torah by the campers and staff alike, with the special flavor of the summer.

This is in connection with the theme of the Mivtza for the summer, מבצע אנגעצונדן, based on a Yechidus of the Rebbe with college students in the 5710s (based on a JEM interview with Dr. Yitzchok Block).

In the yechidus, the students asked the Rebbe what the ‘job description’ of a Rebbe is. The Rebbe responded with a Mashal (which was brought out in a special Mivtza launch video): You see this light switch? This receives its electricity all the way from Niagara Falls, which is then sent to Downtown Brooklyn to be limited and toned down, and from there its connected with wires to this light switch. You have tremendous energy at your fingertips. All you need to do is turn it on. However, you may not know where this switch is. You may need somebody to show it to you. So too, every Yid has tremendous capabilities and potential, all waiting to be brought out. You just need to turn your switch on. The Rebbe is the one who shows us where this switch is.

One of the things that the Rebbe has always encouraged is to write and publish Chiddushei Torah, and through that it will add to the Geshmak in learning Torah. In this way, we hope to be “turned on” in learning Torah, and that it will add tremendous Chayus to the entire summer for the entire camp!
