There is then a backlash insisting that scholarships and low-cost options are available, or about how everyone makes choices. The most recent round was played out in The LA Times article “It’s […]

Rabbis in Shorts

A big part of what makes Ramah Darom experiences so powerful is Rabbis in shorts. Camp demystifies and humanizes religion. It strips away formality and removes barriers. It takes Judaism out of the synagogue and makes it more approachable.  Years ago, when I lived in Greensboro, close friends of mine hosted a young French exchange […]
