Nachama Skolnik Moskowitz
sprang into action just after the
Machane Yehuda bombings in
Jerusalem last month.
Moskowitz, director of cur-
riculum for the Jewish Educa-
tion Center of Cleveland, started
faxing an Immediate Response
Curriculum to the tragedy to
some two dozen Jewish camps
nationwide.
The next day the curriculum
went out via two e-mail lists: the
Reform educators list, known as
NATE, and the Jewish educa-
tion and Internet list, inter-jed.
The curriculum was posted also
in a downloadable form in the
Jewish education section of
America On Line's Jewish Com-
munity.
"We tried to really keep in
mind that this is camp and this
is not school," said Moskowitz.
"Quite often when there is a
tragedy, the immediate response
is, 'We're going to do a service;
we're going to light candles;
we're going to make everybody
cry.' We really wanted to help
camps find other responses."
The curriculum includes the
traditional Jewish responses of
praying "El Malei Rachamim,"
reciting Kaddish after the fu-
nerals had taken place, reciting
Psalms and studying the Mish-
nah in memory of the dead Is-
raelis.
There were artistic ideas as
well, such as creating a peace
quilt and fashioning a collage
from newspaper headlines and
pictures. Among the entries in a
"responses through the written
word" were placing a large sheet
of paper on a wall for campers
and writing graffiti about the
bombings or wishes for peace.
And there were a couple of cyber
suggestions included: campers
sending personal e-mails to Is-
rael and monitoring news dis-
patches on the Web sites.
Perhaps the most poignant
element of the curriculum was
a poem by Danny Siegel titled
"Psalm 25 — The Tanks and
Planes Are Not The True Sal-
vation." The verse concludes: We
are chosen, I but weary of the
tear soaked pages I of our histo-
ry. I We ask nothing of You,
Lord, I but opportunities to I
raise I carnations in the Negev I
and a crop of cinnamon I in
Galilee.
