Journal Cover.psd - Camp Ramah

We speak of Ramah as a transformational experience – andtransformational it has been.I had wonderful experiences at Ramah, and my wife,Margaret, did as well. But we know that our experience ofthe 1950s and early ‘60s was not the experience of ourchildren in the ‘80s or of our grandchildren today. We, andRamah, are products of Conservative Judaism; we strugglewith ideas and conflicts, we confront change, and we try tounderstand how tension can be resolved withoutundermining principles. If that struggle informs the work ofRamah over the next 60 years, we will have succeededbeyond measure.Alan H.
