Being accepted to (ti-ke-a) means that I get to have some continuity - I've worked directly and intensely with teens for 10 years and this fellowship means I get to stay engaged in that piece of work", said Ramah Day Camp Director Dan Alter, who was recently selected for the prestigious (ti-ke-a) fellowship sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education in San Francisco and the Center for Jewish Living and Learning in the East Bay.

The  Bay Area  (ti-ke-a) fellowship  recently chose its first cohort of fellows, who will be involved in an intensive 16 month  course of study designed specifically for  educators of Jewish teens. This professional development initiative is the first of its kind in the country; looking at new ways to meet the changing needs of Jewish teens.

Dan was among 15 educators of Jewish teens selected from throughout the Bay Area in a highly competitive process. As part of the fellowship, Ramah Day Camp will receive a project grant up to $10,000  that will benefit our teen program.  Dan will be involved in retreats, seminars, an Israel experience trip, and will receive a $5,000 stipend for participating in the  Fellowship.  (ti-ke-a) is funded with the generous support of the Richard & Rhoda Goldman Fund.

Mazel Tov Dan!
