I give to Camp Judaea because it feels good. I spent over a dozen years at CJ, and made some of the greatest friends of my life. I recently attended the wedding of my year course and stucco roommate (Holly Gelfand) to my former counselor and camp director (Ari Kurtz). I was reminded again and again that weekend of what makes CJ special, the bonds we create that make it feel like no time has passed when you reunite with your friends.

I am now officially a Hadassah Lady and sit on the Board of Directors of Camp Judaea. In my capacity as Facilities Director, I see the direct impact that each of us individually can make to provide a future for our children and grandchildren to create their own memories and lifelong friendships.

I hope that many of you will join us at the 50th Anniversary Celebration and see the amazing transformations at camp including the amphitheater, the MC renovations, the new kitchen, and overall safety improvements to move CJ into the future. I give to the cabin campaign and the scholarship campaign because I want to see more campers at camp and I want to house them in their CJ home of the future.

Please join me in giving to Camp Judaea.
