Tradition and Change
September 7, 2018
Rosh Hashanah and the Yamim Noraim are a period of transition; a time to move from the past and what has already been written, to a new present and future. This year that process is especially poignant for Ramah Darom and me. Both I and the organization I have spent my last 18 years […]

A Message from Our New CEO
August 27, 2018
I’m writing from Toronto (where, believe it or not, it’s 91 degrees today) to share my excitement for the journey ahead at Ramah Darom.

Ramah is my “makom kavod”
August 21, 2018
“Is this your makom kavod (respected/honored place)?” a counselor asked me right before Kabbalat Shabbat began. The counselor was seated next to me, she was a one to one for a special needs camper, and was also eager to tell me about her wonderful experience when she was a List College Student long before my time working […]

70 Years of Collective Service
August 14, 2018
I am looking at a picture taken at last Tuesday’s staff banquet – the closing moment of another camp season at Ramah Darom – and I’m feeling nostalgic. The banquet, my 19th and my last, was full of emotion; not the usual emotion at saying goodbye to close friends until the promise of another summer […]

More Support = More Success!
July 16, 2018
This summer Camp Ramah Darom added an additional level of support to the Tikvah Support Program. “We want every camper that walks through our doors to be successful, says Dr. Audra Kaplan, Director of Tikvah Support and Camper Care. “Over the years of developing our Tikvah Support Program, we have found that success at camp looks different for every camper. This summer, we added […]

Why am I not receiving your emails?
July 12, 2018
We often hear from parents that they are not receiving emails from Ramah Darom or they only receive some of our emails. The truth is our emails often end up in your junk or spam folders and sometimes get blocked altogether. Why does this happen? First of all, we send out emails from different systems […]
