Camp Grenada

Spike Jones had a good time at Camp Grenada, despite the rain, the hail, the poison ivy, malaria, ptomaine poisoning and alligators.  I don’t think the bear ever materialized.  His first day there seemed to have nearly everything packed into it.  Everything, that is, except a superb Jewish experience.  I can tell you from my own adventures at two URJ (then UAHC) camps – Kutz in NY and Harlam in PA  --  that my Jewish identity was infinitely enriched with enduring friendships, fun and learning.

 

This Sunday at Or Chadash, Shane Carr, the Assistant Director of Camp Harlam, will be visiting our congregation and giving us an audio-visual presentation on overnight camping experiences at URJ camps all across the country.  Parents are welcome at 9:00 AM and can remain for the program for kids at 10:15AM.

 

I also invite you to our Torah Service this Friday evening when I will discuss the origins of the holiday of Passover.

 

Shabbat Shalom,

 

Rabbi Joseph M. Forman
