Quotes
A giant box was delivered to our assistant director. A couple of staff members said to me: 'Oh my gosh you need to see this incredible resource kit.' Even before I got to it the cooking teacher had taken Golda's Kitchen and started using it. Word was out, and people were talking about how to use the resources.
Nearly every part of camp—from the kitchen, to the cabins, to the sports fields, and more—can be a platform for Israel engagement and learning.
