As a camper I enjoyed Ramah; as a staff member I loved it.The magic quality that summer has in youth never leaves, andeveryone who has gone to Ramah, lived there and learned tolove so many things, will feel the special glow of forevernessthat summer plants in our hearts.Ramah was instrumental in my Jewish education and in myrabbinic choice. At camp, I – along with so many others – firsthad the opportunity to turn from students to teachers. Thecampers looked to us as role models, and as a result, we beganto become what we were expected to be. Inside ourselves wefound the Jews we spoke about.Rabbi David WolpeSinai Temple, Los Angeles, CARamah Day Camp, Philadelphia, Summer 200628

We raised our children at Ramah and saw allfour become counselors and “roshes.” When we were afamily with four young children and two careers andpeople asked me “How do you manage it all?” I wouldsay, “I can administrate anything, I was a rosh edah atCamp Ramah.” We modeled our home observance onthe Jewish lives we imbibed at Ramah.Vicky Kelman29
