I Can't Leave Gan Yisroel
Embracing Spiritual Growth: Gan Yisroel Parksville Experience
Lyrics
First step, off the bus
First experience of disembarking the bus
Confusion in my mind
Feeling of uncertainty and lack of clarity in thoughts
How will the summer go
Anticipation and concern about the upcoming summer
Anxiously, the time I spent
Anxious moments spent in contemplation
Sitting on the side
Sitting on the sidelines, observing
Until, that first Friday night
The significant moment of the first Friday night
Becoming, a part of camp
Becoming integrated into the camp community
I seem to find my place
Finding one's place within the camp dynamics
My counselors the love they do show
Appreciation for the affection shown by counselors
Now that, the summer
Reflecting on the conclusion of the summer
Slowly comes to an end
The gradual ending of the summer season
Gan Yisroel I want you to know
Expressing attachment to Gan Yisroel
The chayus, the davening and learning
Highlighting the vitality, prayer, and learning experiences
Waking each morning, raising the flag
The routine of raising the flag each morning
The connection, the warmth that I felt here
Emphasizing the emotional connection and warmth felt in Gan Yisroel
How do I leave you dear Gan Yisroel
Expressing difficulty in leaving Gan Yisroel
Oy Rebbe my spiritual uplifting
Acknowledging the spiritual uplifting from the Rebbe
A chossids upbringing
Highlighting the upbringing of a chossid
I can't say farewell
Expressing the inability to bid farewell
Your guidance like light through the darkness
Recognizing the guidance as a source of light in darkness
Rebbe I can't leave your Gan Yisroel
Reiterating the emotional difficulty in leaving Gan Yisroel
