Journal Cover.psd - Camp Ramah

We have been privileged to spend the last 28 summers inRamah Wisconsin, and to give our children the benefit of integratingthe best of the American Jewish experience into theirlives. Israel is my home, but my early Ramah experiences clearlycontributed to my love of Israel, paving the way for it to becomemy home.Minda (Wolff) Garr[At Ramah] we were encouraged to ask questions we had neverdared to discuss publicly, and the leaders themselves raised issuesnone of us had ever thought of. This exciting intellectual fermentwas coupled with a sense of structure, of rootedness, andof purpose to life that was missing in the lives of all of my nonreligiousfriends. Consequently, when I decided to become arabbi, my chief aim was to reproduce the experiences Ramahhad given me.Rabbi Elliot DorffRector, American Jewish UniversityCamp Ramah in Wisconsin, circa 195037
