The museum visit will continue to be part of the shared Tiferet Bet experience. It will influence the way that we see the world, the creative risks we take, how we interpret Song of Songs, experience prayer, how we relate to one another and think about our unit.

The community here doesn’t notice differences, they instead savor each kid’s uniqueness. They nurture each camper on a journey together exploring developing values and beliefs.

I have long believed that summer camp is the very best tool for Jewish living and learning that our Reform movement sponsors. As a camper, staff member, and now faculty, I have witnessed the power of camp in cultivating caring, committed, knowledgeable Jews.

Gone are formal sermons, outlook calendars and high heels! I’ve been spending my days in Tevas, running around camp with chanichim (campers) and teaching Torah on ladders, in the pool and in an outdoor sanctuary surrounded by a grove of trees.

Cantor Aviva Katzman: “I looked around the Beit Am, marveling at all the talented, wonderful chanichim and the incredible madrichim and specialists.”
