400 Voices as One: CGI Montreal Releases First-Ever Live Kumzing
In a first for Gan Yisroel camps worldwide, over 400 campers and staff of CGI Montreal recorded a live rendition of the camp classic “Standing Side by Side,” now out as a music video • Full Story
This past summer, Camp Gan Israel Montreal set out to capture one of camp’s most powerful experiences: hundreds of campers and counselors singing together as one. The result is the camp’s first-ever live Kumzing, a professional recording and music video featuring more than 400 campers and staff, a first for Gan Yisroel camps around the world.
For its debut Kumzing, the camp chose “Standing Side by Side,” the beloved classic originally written as a Color War alma mater in the summer of 5756 (1996) and sung in Gan Yisroel camps ever since.
The song tells the moving story of a camper and a counselor who each approach the Rebbe at the summer’s end: the counselor reflecting on the precious children entrusted to his care, the camper expressing gratitude for the counselor who brought him closer to the Rebbe. Neither realizes the other is there, until the two finally meet and embrace.
The video is available on YouTube, Spotify and 24six.
