No accounting of the creative expansion of modern AmericanJudaism can possibly miss the autobiographical commonalityof so much of our contemporary leadership whoshared often only one common training ground: CampRamah.There is no experience, educational institution, or personthat can come close to the influence that Ramah had onme. Many of my closest friends, teachers, and mentors comefrom those years as well. I would not be who I am withoutRamah and I could not possibly have accomplished my life’swork without it.Peter GeffenFounder and Director, KivunimFounder, Abraham Joshua Heschel School, New York, NYCamp Ramah in Nyack, 196131
