Enhancing the Journey Forward at Fifty PAGE 16 New Entry Area The new Entry Area will transform the existing staff parking area – it will be graded, paved and landscaped to provide a formal arrival and parking area near the entrance to camp. The road will be extended onto the orange grove parcel to provide one point of access into Camp Ramah. The current security booth will be relocated to the west side of the main road, at the entrance to the new parking lot. The addition of a fence and rows of evergreen trees will provide an attractive and inviting screen for the lot to all who enter camp. Naming Opportunities are available for only ten permanent parking spaces for Yom Kehillah Community Day each summer, in perpetuity, at $25,000 each. Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will benefit from your naming opportunity gift for the next 50 years!

ROPES COURSE continued from page 11 friends while she climbs on our rock climbing wall with a map of the State of Israel painted on it, it is the perfect educational moment,” says Rabbi Greyber. “That camper is learning about herself and what she is capable of, about how community and friends can help you accomplish just about anything, and about our connection to the State of Israel.” Ilana and Mark Meskin, who have been attending family camp and sending their two daughters, Myra and Diane, to Ramah for over ten years, marvel at the profound influence camp has had on their family. “If we could only have one Jewish experience for our daughters,” says Mark, “we’d choose Ramah.” Mark, a professor and director of Cal Poly Pomona’s Didactic Program in Dietetics, says he and his family chose the ropes course as their project because of their interest in health and love of hiking. “The physical challenges at camp are a lot of fun for the kids,” says Mark. “We need a facility that can increase the opportunities for physical fun and can compete with other summer programs, all the while giving kids the intense Jewish experience Ramah is renowned for.” Carol Abrams Editor Niva Taylor Contributing Writer Emily Rich Design Graphic Design Camp Ramah in California Year-Round Staff Rabbi Daniel Greyber Executive Director Zachary Lasker Assistant Director Carol Abrams Director of Development Dav Camras Business Director Elie Mechaly Operations Director Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson Dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies Wendy Morris Bookkeeper Elana Naftalin-Kelman Tikvah Director Erika Resnick Program Coordinator Ellie Haiem Administrative Assistant Rachel Lancaster Administrative Assistant Patricia Straker Administrative Assistant Annual Tzedakah Report Contributors Charles Abrams Eddie Friedman Photography Lettera Graphics & Printing Printing
