Ramah Learning Throughout the Year
Last year, Ramah staff continued to learn together throughout the entire year by receiving a weekly D’var Torah email. Divrei torah are written by volunteers from among our staff members, including graduate, college, and high school students.
In 5769, we will continue this endeavor and would like to extend an invitation to our Ramah families to receive these weekly emails. If you would like to receive the weekly Ramah Nyack D’var Torah, please email us.
In addition, this year, for the first time, we would like to offer an exciting opportunity for our camp families. Several times over the course of the year, we will be sending a senior staff member into the homes of our camp families in order to lead Torah study sessions. These sessions will be informal, interactive, and engaging, in order to give participants a taste of Ramah during the winter. If you are interested in either hosting or participating in these sessions, please e-mail Ami Hersh, Assistant Director.
