This Year, More Than Ever, Send a Child to Camp Ramah
The Schechter Institutes, Inc. has been running a wonderful network of Midreshet Schechter schools and synagogues throughout Ukraine since 1991, including the jewel in the crown – Camp Ramah Ukraine – scheduled to celebrate our 31st anniversary this summer.
Since the war began on February 24th, 2022, we – together with our partners at Masorti Olami – have spent over $700,000 on food and cash distribution for communities throughout Ukraine.
We now need to raise funds for Camp Ramah Ukraine 2023 which has been incredibly successful in teaching thousands of Ukrainian Jewish children how to live as Jews 24/7. As always camp will include tefillot, classes, drama, sports, hikes, wholesome kosher food and two wonderful Shabbatot!
For many years, it has been held in western Ukraine. Last summer, as a result of the war, we celebrated our 30th anniversary in Romania. This summer we will return to Ukraine.
This August we expect to have refugee children from Chernivtsi, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Berlin and Israel.
We would be most grateful if you could support this wonderful camp at this very difficult time.
$1,000 will sponsor a camper for the summer.
