It's definitely summer, hot and fairly muggy. Some of us escape to the beach. It's a natural time for us to relax and also to take trips to visit with family and friends. For the past 18 years our Shul kids have been afforded the exceptional opportunity to summer at camp Ramah.
Many of you have schlepped your kids to camp and have had them return sharing marvelous stories of their experiences. Every year at Yom Kippur we remind our Shul of the excitement and the joy of our campers. Our heartfelt thanks repeatedly go out to Mr. Abraham A. Mitchell who makes this exceptional opportunity available to our kids. Without Mr. Mitchell's generosity many of our kids would not enjoy a summer camp experience. Without the vision of Mayer,z”l, Arlene and Abe Mitchell, Camp Ramah would not exist. Without the extreme generosity of Fanny & Bert Meisler, Ramah would not be the beautiful place it is..
We also owe our deep gratitude to Board members including Ben Meisler and Barry Ripps and many other generous supporters who make Ramah a continued reality. Ramah would not be the reality it is providing 800 to 900 Jewish with the unbeatable Jewish summer camping experience that they enjoy.
Plan to send your child or grandchild as a camper or to encourage a child or grandchild to be a counselor. And enjoy your last few days of summer!
P.S. Yom Clinic is Clinic Day during which professional coaches, athletes and artists come to camp to help campers sharpen their skills.
