Village" at the Benard
Maas Recreation Area
(Camp Tamarack), teaches

one in which they can
WI have fun, and learn
about being Jewish.

that Judaism is something
positive, something to be
enjoyed. This does not mean
removing ourselves from
society, or doing without the
positive things that society
has to offer: to the contrary,

its fullest. At Kfar Ivri, we
