  • Overnight Jewish Camp in North America 2017
    OVERNIGHT JEWISH CAMP IN NORTH AMERICA 2017 HIGHLIGHTS FROM FOUNDATION FOR JEWISH CAMP 2017 OVERNIGHT CAMP CENSUS Steven M. Cohen Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion 1 ABOUT THE 2017 CAMP CENSUS The 2017 Camp Census portrays several important features of the nonprofit overnight Jewish camp sector in North America. The eighth annual Census was conducted by the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC), in partnership with JCamp180, Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA), Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), National Ramah Commission (Ramah), and Association for Independent Jewish Camps (AIJC). This report focuses on some key measures of overnight Jewish summer camps: the campers and enrollment patterns, revenues, expenditures and more. It differentiates among camps of varying size by numbers of campers and budget, as well as denominations, movements and regions of North America. On occasion, the text below refers to comparisons with previous censuses, implemented and reported on by JData through 2015, and conducted by Prof. Steven M. Cohen in 2016. Generally, where we could reliably estimate over-time change from previously published findings to the 2017 data set, the estimated changes were small and incremental. Out of concern for some challenges to comparability between the 2017 and earlier Census reports, and recognizing the very small changes that are readily visible, this text focuses both upon the most notable findings from 2017, drawing only occasional comparisons with the prior Census reports (particularly last year, summer 2016). This report refers to camping “Movements.” On the Census questionnaire, camps reported their movement affiliations. Throughout this report, we have combined a few of the responses, in part, to increase the sample size in a few categories.

  • Directories and Lists Jewish National Organizations
    DIRECTORIES AND LISTS JEWISH NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. Introduction The record of Jewish organizations, their purposes, mem- bership, and publications, reveals a colorful pattern of Jewish affiliation. That the Jews of the United States, like other Americans, are "joiners" is evident from the long list that follows, including 268 organizations, exclusive of numerous local associations. The national organizations report a total membership of approximately 2,000,000. This figure, how- ever, includes numerous cases of multiple membership, while some organizations do not list their membership. The organizations may be classified into six major cate- gories: 1) religious (exclusive of congregational member- ship), 2) fraternal, including Landsmannschaften, 3) phil- anthropic and welfare, 4) Zionist and pro-Palestine, 5) educational and cultural, 6) miscellaneous (defense, professional, war veterans, etc.). Grouping the organizations according to their year of formation reveals that all but fifteen have been founded during the past fifty years and that a larger number of new organizations have been formed during the past five years than in any previous five-year period, forty seven new organi- zations having been established since 1940. Interest in Jewish affairs has undoubtedly been heightened as a result of the catastrophe which befell the Jews of Europe under the Nazi onslaught. 560 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK JEWISH NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES* NOTE:—This directory includes organizations in existence for at least one year before July 1, 1945 .though an exception may be made at the discretion of the editors.
