  • Concurrence to David Hoffman's Teshuvah
    OH 244:1.2018 Concurrence to Rabbi David Hoffman’s Teshuvah, “Building at What Cost?” Rabbi Elliot N. Dorff This paper was submitted, in October 2018, as a concurrence on “Building at What Cost?” by Rabbi David Hoffman. Dissenting and Concurring papers are not official positions of the CJLS. I voted for this teshuvah both because its research and reasoning are cogent and also because in the context of the building project of the Jewish Theological Seminary, I think that he weighed the various factors involved correctly. That said, I think that other institutions (including synagogues, schools, and camps) in other situations might weigh those factors differently and use kabblanut to justify allowing non- Jewish contractors to work on those institutions’ building projects on Shabbat. There are several reasons that lead me to this conclusion: 1) I fully agree that what Jews knew about Jewish law and their degree of adhering to the laws of Shabbat at the time of Rabbenu Tam far outpaces what we can expect of lay Jews in the Conservative movement today. I think, though, that Rabbi Hoffman underestimates the ways of informing Jews today about these issues so that people seeing building of a Jewish institution on Shabbat will understand why it is justified. This can be done not only with the old technology – e.g., a sign in front of the building indicating that the contractor is not Jewish, that payment to the contractor is for the completed project and not calculated on an hourly basis. and that the contractor has chosen to use Shabbat as one of the days to complete the work – but also, and even more extensively, on the internet, including the various ways the institution communicates with its adults, teenagers, and children.

  • The Early Years, 1947-1952 Office When That Camp Opened in 1950
    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.

  • Campers with Developmental Disabilities: the Tikvah Program
    LEARNING FROM RAMAH 209 HOWARD I. BLAS1 Campers with Developmental Disabilities: The Tikvah Program Disabilities: What the Ancient Rabbis Knew At a pre-season retreat, twenty senior staff members of Camp Ramah in New England spent a weekend discussing the educational theme for the upcoming summer — the biblical concept of betzelem elohim — the idea that everyone is created in the image of God.1 As the participants studied a series of biblical and rabbinic texts, it became clear that the rabbis of the second through sixth centuries debated the implications of similarities and differences in people. The ancient rabbis puzzled over which blessing to say upon encoun- tering people who were blind, were missing limbs, or had “unusual skin.” It may seem strange to say a blessing in such circumstances, yet a person was expected to acknowledge the entirety of God’s human creations.2 In the Mishneh Torah, Moses Maimonides, a respected rabbi, Bible commentator, physician, and philosopher, who lived in Egypt and Spain from 1138–1204, discusses the blessing recited upon seeing people who are different in some way. He suggests that one blessing is said upon encountering a person who is born a certain way, and an entirely different blessing is recited upon see- ing a person who becomes “different” (i.e., someone who loses his or her sight or limb). In the former case, one is expected to say the blessing, “Blessed are you God, King of the world, who makes living creatures different,” whereas in the latter case, one says, “Blessed are you, the True Judge.”3 As documented by Eleanor Eells in History of Organized Camping: The First 100 Years, camp programs for children with various special needs began to HoWARD I.

  • 1 Shabbat Shalom, My Name Is Danielle Fink and I Am Currently
    1 Shabbat Shalom, My name is Danielle Fink and I am currently serving a one year term as an AmeriCorps member in Minneapolis for two organizations called Crossing Home and Amicus. As an AmeriCorps member, we live and serve in some of our nation’s poorest urban and rural areas. With passion, commitment, hard work, and innovative solutions, we build capacity by creating and expanding programs designed to bring individuals and communities out of poverty. My year of service is focused on a population that often gets pushed to the outskirts of society. I work with people transitioning from prison to community. I did not think that incarceration affected me as a Jewish girl from a middle class family growing up in St. Louis Park. I went to the Jewish Day School, Camp Ramah in Wisconsin, and Talmud Torah of Minneapolis and we never talked about the mass incarceration rate in the United States. Also, I never knew anyone who had been incarcerated. I have come to realize incarceration affects me in multiple ways but most importantly as a Jew. In this week’s Torah portion, Naso, G-d speaks to Moses addressing the issue of what to do with those suspected of adultery, those who commit harm or wrong towards another and repentant individuals. G-d tells Moses to address the Israelite people and inform them when a man or woman commits any wrong towards another human that they break their trust with G-d. In addition, they are commanded to send the individual away if they are ritually unclean.

  • Inclusive Camping for People with Disabilities
    Fall 08 INCLUSION TRAINING GUIDE FORINCLUSION JEWISH TRAININGSUMMER GUIDECAMPS FOR JEWISH SUMMER CAMPS 235 West 35th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10001 • jewishcamp.org CHAPTER 1: INCLUSIVE CAMPING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES Research on Serving Children with Disabilities at Jewish Overnight Camps As the only agency dedicated to working with all nonprofit Jewish camps, regardless of denomination or affiliation, FJC has become the leading force for growth and expansion of Jewish camps’ programs and services. We understand modalities, methodologies, and the support camps need to implement change, in Jewish/Israel educational experiences, leadership development, marketing and recruitment, and more. We are keenly aware that Jewish children with disabilities have been underserved by the field of Jewish camp. It is our hope that, after 15 years as a research- and data-driven agency with a reputation for delivering programs of excellence that elevate the Jewish camp experience, FJC’s standing will enable us to successfully broaden access to Jewish summer experiences for all Jewish children. FJC believes that inclusivity is as important to typically developing children and the camp community at large as it is to children with disabilities. A fully internalized Jewish identity should certainly include a mandate to help others overcome challenges. These summer communities must be accessible to all Jewish children; they must also be infused with an ethos built around including all individuals, regardless of their needs. Moreover, sharing the camp experience with children with disabilities helps typically developing youth gain a greater appreciation of, and learn from, the strengths and abilities of their peers who face challenges.
