Head Staff Announced for Gan Yisroel Sweden

As summer approaches on Sweden’s breathtaking west coast, the long days and golden evenings set the stage for another unforgettable season of camp Gan Yisroel Sweden.

As summer approaches on Sweden’s breathtaking west coast, the long days and golden evenings set the stage for another unforgettable camp season, b’ezras Hashem.

Following an incredible year BH in which more than 190 campers attended the summer and winter programs, the camp prepares to welcome both new and returning campers for an inspiring and memorable experience.

A Legacy of Chassidishe Chinuch and Connection

Founded in 5769/2009, Gan Yisroel Sweden has welcomed well over a thousand campers BH from dozens of cities throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, the US and beyond. For many children growing up on Shlichus in communities without local Jewish schools or strong peer networks, camp serves as a vital source of inspiration, friendship, and connection.

Campers return home with renewed chayus in their Shlichus, a deeper hiskashrus to the Rebbe and lifelong friendships with fellow young shluchim and shluchos.

“Camp is such an important part of a Chassidishe chinuch. When you see what children gain—the chayus, the friendships, and the positive memories—you realize that camp is not a luxury; it is a necessity,” says Rabbi Alexander Namdar who directs the camps together with his wife Leah Namdar.

For Shluchim, by Shluchim

Over the years, Gan Yisroel Sweden has become known for its warm atmosphere, dedicated staff, and unique blend of Chassidishe and Shlichus values and exciting programming. The friendships formed at camp continue long after the summer ends, creating a strong network of young Shluchim around the world.

This summer, be’ezras Hashem, Chabad Sweden will host its 52nd and 53rd camp sessions.

The action-packed summer program combines meaningful spiritual growth with exciting activities, outdoor adventures, and memorable excursions.

Memorable farbrengens, engaging shiurim, uplifting davening, and an atmosphere filled with genuine Ahavas Yisroel.

A special visit to the historic pier of Gothenburg from which the Frierdiker Rebbe and his entourage departed on his final journey from Europe on 27 Adar 5700 (1940.) This location is the very last place in Europe graced by the presence of a Lubavitcher Rebbe during the time of his nesius.

Excursions

Trips include the nearby world-famous Liseberg Amusement Park, canoeing, hiking, water park trips, scenic boat excursions through the stunning Gothenburg Archipelago and the beautiful islands of Sweden and more.

Camp directors Rabbi Alexander and Leah Namdar express their deep gratitude to the many individuals who help make camp possible.

To our dedicated staff:
“We owe tremendous gratitude to every staff member who has joined us since the camps began. Your devotion, warmth, and dedication are the hallmark of our camp. If you are reading this, accept this as a personal thank you!.”

To the parents:
“Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious treasures. Our goal is to care for and uplift every camper in the way the Rebbe would want. If there is one message we hope every camper brings home, it is how much the Rebbe loves them.”

Gan Yisroel Sweden is a project of Chabad Sweden, directed by Rabbi Alexander and Leah Namdar, in partnership with Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky ע”ה and Rabbis Mendy and Mendel Kotlarsky of Merkos Suite 302 and MyShliach.

Flights with staff chaperones will be departing from NY the day before both camps.
