Meet Our Mishlachat

By Jesse Nagelberg - 25 April 2018

Our three shlichim (Israeli emissaries), Hadas, Shir, and Or, spent a week at the Shefayim Retreat Center at Kibbutz Shefayim participating in a training seminar for over 1000 shlichim that will be working at Jewish camps in North America this summer. They spent the week learning about American Jews, Jewish Camping, and Camp Ramah. Though the seminar was busy, they found a few moments to send us a hello and show off their new RSA shirts. Check out the video and keep reading below to learn more about this fantastic trio.

D’var Torah Bo

D’var Torah by Rabbi Dave Levy: Director, Ramah Sports Academy During the Presidential Inauguration, I heard a sound that stopped me in my tracks.
