"This may have been the most important year in Ramah's history. I am grateful to have spent the summer visiting 17 Ramah overnight and day camps and Ramah Israel Seminar. Each visit afforded me the opportunity to speak with our young adult staff members and listen as they shared reflections from the past year. …Their stories were filled with determination and hope and watching them experience joyful Judaism at Ramah camps has been proudly uplifting." - Reflections from Amy Skopp Cooper, CEO, National Ramah Commission

Experiencing Krakow with Ramah Poland Seminar

This morning, we prayed at the Isaac shul in Krakow. RebIsaac was a poor peasant in 17th century Krakow. He yearned to have enough money to find an appropriate shidduch for his daughter. According to legend, he found a buried treasure and became a most generous community donor, building a beautiful synagogue in Krakow, since known as Reb Isaac’s shul. This magnificent shul thrived for hundreds of years, but was damaged and defaced during the Shoah, when all its congregants were murdered in nearby Auschwitz.
