A silent video from 1963, filmed by R’ Eli Teitelbaum and published now from his archives, shows life in Camp Gan Yisroel Swan Lake 62 years ago, including many faces from the past. Can you recognize them?

No one had phones, just enjoyed the moment!
A simpler time, and most probably a happier one.
Thank you Anash for sharing this special item!
I’m halfway through. So far, only Avrohom Elya Pinson and Meir Harlig.
Yankel Kranz, Avremel Shemtov, Shimon’ke Lazaroff, (possibly Manis Friedman, Yehudah Clapman).
I think I saw Rabbi Weinfeld – camp administrator for a second.
Eli Teitelbaum was always carrying something electronic.
