    Israel in Jewish Summer Camps David Friedman, Director UAHC Eisner Camp; Director, Camping and Youth, New York Council of Reform Synagogues Dr. David Zisenwine, Professor of Education, Tel Aviv University Israel in Our Lives is a project sponsored by The CRB Foundation, The Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education Department of Jewish Education and Culture in the Diaspora, and The Charles R. Bronfman Centre for the Israel Experience: Mifgashim. In cooperation with Jewish Education Service of North America and Israel Experience, Inc. Israel In Our Lives Online was funded in part through a generous grant from the Joint Program for Jewish Education of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State of Israel. The editors would like to thank all the authors, advisors, and consultants of the Israel In Our Lives series— educational leaders who have brought their considerable insights and talents to bear on this project. In addition to those already mentioned in these pages, we extend our appreciation to those who helped in shaping the project concept: Dr. Zvi Bekerman, Gidon Elad, Dr. Cecile Jordan, Rachel Korazim, Clive Lessem, Caren Levine, Dr. Zev Mankowitz, Dr. Eliezer Marcus, & Susan Rodenstein. Part 1 The two and a half million Jews who arrived in the United States between 1881-1914, the peak period of mass immigration to America, began their collective life in the tenements of the country's major urban centers. Seeking a better future for themselves and their children, these immigrants organized activities and institutions that would enable them to attain a higher quality of life.

  • SUMMER CAMPS Adaptive Sports and Inclusive Recreation Accessible Recreation Facilities
    Recreation Resource Guide for the Gulf South Region SUMMER CAMPS Adaptive Sports and Inclusive Recreation Accessible Recreation Facilities Greater New Orleans Area Welcome! The Recreation Therapy program at Children’s Hospital New Orleans has developed a summer camp, adaptive sports, and accessible recreation resource guide for children with disabilities in the Louisiana area. This guide includes relevant contact information to get you started in your pursuit of recreation activities. Please keep in mind that the camps, sports, and recreational programs and facilities included in this guide are only a listing of the opportunities currently available and that the inclusion of a camp or program does not imply that we approve or recommend it. Always verify with the American Camping Association (http://www.acacamps.org/) and personally visit the camps and programs you are considering before deciding if it is right for your child. Also, it is recommended that you try your local fitness center, high school athletic department, or YMCA for opportunities to participate, as they may be able to make the necessary accommodations. Finally, as camps, adaptive sports, and accessible recreation programs are constantly opening and closing, some of these listings may change over time. If you would like to share any additional camps or leisure opportunities for children, please contact the Child Life Department at Children’s Hospital so that we can update the guide. We have made every effort to include every program available, but it is possible that some may have been overlooked. If you cannot find a program in Louisiana, contact national organizations and they may be able to help you get involved.

    numerous headings in various places. I suspect that materials on Ramah were not carefully preserved at the Seminary until the camps became a national concern. Since the early camps were local ventures, records were kept in the local offices. Yet, here, too, there were problems, particularly with regard to Camp Ramah in Maine, which was open for only two Camp Ramah: seasons (1948-49), then closed permanently; many of its records have disappeared. Some were transferred to the Camp Ramah in the Poconos The Early Years, 1947-1952 office when that camp opened in 1950. That office moved from Phila­ delphia to New York and then back to Philadelphia, and many of the Shuly Rubin Schwartz Maine records were probably lost or discarded at that time. Another valuable source of written information is the personal collections of yearbooks, educational outlines, and camp rosters saved by staff and campers. Needless to say, then, the selective nature of the preserved materials required much oral research. The number of people involved in.

  • Camps Massad Shimon Frost
    Informal Jewish Education: Summer Camping T_7 J. JL ebrezv camping is probably the most effective medium to transmit social, affective, and cognitive Jewish educational experiences to new generations of Jews. The two principal American camping movements that attempted to achieve this goal were Massad and Ramah. The late Dr. Shimon Frost was familiar with both organizations. In a lengthy Hebrew article published in 1988, he compared their respective educational purposes and programs and reached evaluative conclusions which should be studied by those truly interested in Jewish education. Frost, a survivor of the Holocaust, was a person of wide culture and erudition, a highly respected Jewish educator, the head of J.E.S.N.A., and an associate of the Melton Institute at the Hebrew University. The original article appeared in Kovetz Massad, vol. 2, Jerusalem, 1989, and was translated from Hebrew by Peggy Frost in loving memory of her husband. It has been abridged and edited by the editor and is published in two parts. This issue of Avar ve'Atid carries the Massad story; the following issue, scheduled for spring 1995, will cover the Ramah experience. Camps Massad Shimon Frost he renaissance of Hebrew, which inflamed hearts and spirits in East European Jewish communities, especially in Poland and Lithuania between the two T World Wars, began in the 1920s and 30s of this century to strike roots on the American continent. The periodicals Hatqren, Hadoar Hayomi and afterwards Hadoar — a weekly still in existence — were founded, as was the Histadrut Ivrit, an organization aiming to spread the use of the Hebrew language and culture.
