Camp is not
only a place for campers to learn and grow Jewishly, but it
is a comfortable environment for staff members to expand their
knowledge and explore their Judaism. Because Ramah is committed
to study, everyone from the camp director to the youngest
camper engages in Talmud Torah - the ongoing study of Jewish
text and Judaica - and everyone is encouraged to spend time
with the many Rabbis and Jewish educators to increase his/her
knowledge in specific areas of Judaism that he/she finds appealing.
All staff members are required to attend staff classes during
the week where they learn about different aspects of Judaism
and Hebrew. In addition to set class times, you will

find even the
most mundane activities imbued with learning; not only will
you be encouraged to talk with your campers about Jewish tradition,
values and lifestyle in such settings as around the campfire,
during cabin clean-up or on the sports field, but you will
also receive this kind of learning in your nteractions with
staff. Because our campers and staff come from different backgrounds,
you will hear a variety of opinions expressed. Ramah is filled
with people with whom to take a walk, ask a question, shoot
baskets and learn some Torah!
