Chayolei Hamelech Returns 8-24-09
Notice: More Staff then campers. Four buses, with staff and luggage. No truck for luggage. Again, no website (like perhaps Chabad.info) there to snap a few pictures.
ארור משיג גבול רעהו ואמר כל-העם אמן
Just asking a Question…
On Chof Av (August 10, 2009), The six week of camp. The camp looked like this…

One bus of campers pulls up in front of 770. Nearly 80 campers are seated in 770
And in General this is how the camp looked though out the summer… (Pictures curtsy of Chabad.info)

Through out the summer Chayolei Hamelech burly had 100 campers.
Yet, (and here comes the long awaited question), when it comes to the camp picture, we see a open miracle of 139 campers (not including the many staff, the 7th-8th grade program and Gerson Avtzons Yeshiva, Which was renting space on these camp grounds)? From where did all these children appear?

Campers Count: 139. Including Osters Children, Rutmans Children and the other person sitting to the right of Oster children. Really, is this something to take pride in? This is a camp which at one point housed over 700 people (500 campers and 200 staff). Is this even all the ‘Mishichist’ families? From how many yeshivas are these children? If you were to divide up the campers, how many children does it come out to from a class or even a grade? How many years is this camp open? Is this all they can get?
