    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.

  • Special Articles Jewish Education in the United States: Recent Trends and Issues
    Special Articles Jewish Education in the United States: Recent Trends and Issues BY JACK WERTHEIMER L/ON, G REGARDED BY EDUCATORS AND THEIR ALLIES as the ne- glected "step-child"1 of the American Jewish community, the field of Jew- ish education finds itself at the close of the 20th century the object of in- tense scrutiny and great expectations. Writing of the current "plastic moment" in American Jewish education, the historian Jonathan Sarna sees it as one of "abundant innovations, an unlimited number of poten- tial directions, innumerable theories, and vast uncertainty."2 Perhaps never Note: I wish to acknowledge with appreciation a number of individuals working in the field of education who gave generously of their time and expertise to answer my questions and steer me toward sources of information. At the William Davidson School of Jewish Education of the Jewish Theological Seminary, I consulted with Aryeh Davidson, Barry Holtz, and Carol Ingall. Mary Boys of Union Theological Seminary and Linda Vogel of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary helped me with the larger context of religious education in America. At the Jewish Education Service of North America, Jonathan Woocher and Leora Isaacs conversed with me at length; Paul Flexner and David Shluker provided valuable data. At other Jewish institutions based in New York I was advised by: Robert Abramson of the Education Department at the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and Jan Katzew, his counterpart at the Union of American Hebrew Congregations; Steven Bayme of the Department of Jewish Communal Affairs at the American Jewish Committee; Jerome Chanes of the National Foundation for Jewish Culture; Alisa Kurshan at the Continuity Commission of the UJA-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of Greater New York; Yossi Prager and Marvin Schick at the Avi Chai Foundation; Nessa Rapaport of the Mandel Foundation; and Elliot Spack of the Coalition for the Advancement of Jew- ish Education.

    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.

  • 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.

  • A PLACE of Our Own the RISE of REFORM JEWISH CAMPING
    -, A PLACE OF OuR OwN THE RISE OF REFORM JEWISH CAMPING Edited by Michael M. Lorge and Gary P. Zola original Jewish summer camps were founded around the turn of the century, just at the time that the American camping movement as a whole began to develop. Although one enthusiastic writer dates the history of camping back to "the 40 year wilderness trek of the Children of Israel led by Moses;'' the organized camping movement as we know it usually traces its roots back to the school camp created by Frederick William Gunn and his wife in 1861. Camping 2 The Crucial Decade in Jewish spread slowly, but by the end of the nineteenth century, the first Protestant (188o) and Catholic (1892) camps commenced operations; Sumner F. Dudley Camping started the first YMCA camp (1885); a few private camps for wealthier young­ Jonathan D.
