Impacting Camp, Connecting with Israel After October 7th

Crystal Hill
Every year, URJ Camps host Israeli counselors as a way to strengthen our young people’s connection to the land and culture of Israel. This summer, this initiative took on even more meaning in the wake of the October 7th attacks.

Why This Summer is Different

Eitan Klieger
For as long as I can remember, I've been in love with Israel. I've been fascinated by that small country with such rich meaning and history.

A Message of Support

Rabbi Rick Jacobs
While we recognize that the deep conflict between Israelis and Palestinians will not be resolved over the summer, we believe that come the fall, college campuses must once again be safe for all students - and this includes Jewish students living their Jewish commitments openly and proudly.
