St
Habonim, Labor Zionist youth
movement, celebrated the Bar
Mitzvah of its Hebrew-speaking
Camp Kinneret at special cere-
monies last week. Hank Silver,
representing "Little Camp Kin-
neret," read the Bar Mitzvah
rituals.
A dinner, accompanied by
singing and dancing followed.
during which the history and
growth of the camp was related.
Like a Bar Mitzvah boy who
has reached maturity, plans
were made for the increased in-
tellectual and physical capacity ,
of Camp Kinneret. which is lo-
cated near Chelsea, Mich.
The 13-year-old institution of-
fers campers the opportunity of
speaking the Hebrew language
in daily camping experience.
and also maintainsh a full pro-
gram of arts and 6rafts, sports
activities, singing and dancing.
