Items related to The Ramah Experience: Community and Commitment
From the Foreword: It has been said that of the many programs within the Conser¬vative Movement, Camp Ramah has been one of the most rewarding and has enjoyed the longest period of success. It has also been said, and repeated often, that the "Ramah experi¬ence" is one of the most successful Jewish educational experi¬ences, and it is indeed a fact. Testimony to this fact is found wherever one travels. Whenever a group of Conservative Jews assemble, a common bond among most is their association with a Ramah camp. Ramah alumni are leaders in all phases of Jewish and secular life, be it philanthropic, social service, civic, or political organizations in North America, kibbutzim in Israel, or movements to support a Jewish way of life in South America, Europe, or Australia.
During the 1940s, the Jewish Theological Seminary established Camp Ramah as a tool for furthering Jewish education. The founders envisioned an informal camp setting where Jewish youth would reconnect with the synagogue and Jewish tradition, and a new cadre of American-born Jewish leadership could be cultivated. Today, Ramah camps are attended by over 6,500 youngsters, ranging in age from 7-16, with a staff of 1,500 counselors, co-counselors, specialists, and teachers. In addition to typical summer camp activities, Ramah camps offer an educational program focusing on Judaism, Zionism, and Hebrew-language instruction on different levels.
