As our Ramah Darom community knows all too well, often the most difficult aspect of responding to tragedy […]

For if they should fall, the one will raise up the other, as opposed to if one falls when there is no one to raise him.” Ecclesiastes 4:10-11 By Eliana Leader and Rabba Yaffa Epstein Ecclesiastes famously teaches us that […]

I Still Go to Camp
October 16, 2018
By Jake Bengelsdorf I still go to summer camp. It sounds weird to say. I am a senior in high school. I could be spending the summer with friends, on a road trip, or getting a head start on school, but I choose, year after year, to go to summer camp. The camp I’ve been […]
