Now, he has returned to camp
to start a new chapter in his life as
Tamarack's rabbi. He also serves as
director of ATID, the new Monday
night Conservative high school
program, and as the first rabbi of
Congregation T'chiyah in Oak Park.
Miller has two roles at Camp Maas:
He serves half his time as mashgi-
ach, the kashrut supervisor, ensur-
ing Tamarack's facility maintains its
strict kosher standards; the other half
is acting as camp rabbi. Rabbinical
responsibilities include tutoring b'nai
mitzvah students, teaching classes to
staff members, coordinating special
projects throughout the summer, such
as tree planting ceremonies and mezu-
zah projects, conducting clergy visits,
and serving as a rabbinic resource for
the outposts camps, travel trips and
family camps.
One of Miller's favorite jobs is telling
bedtime stories with Jewish content
and singing the Shema with campers
in their cabins before they go to sleep.
While singing the Shema is a well-
continued tradition, Camp Tamarack
has changed since Miller attended as

a camper.
"Certainly, in the 1980s, no one was
walking around with digital cameras,
there was no multimedia or wireless
Internet — no one knew what the
Internet was."
Miller added that all the programs
have been updated, safety and secu-
rity is more of a concern and the way
Tamarack understands the needs of
campers has changed.
Miller's main goal at Tamarack now
is to help make campers and staff
members feel a sense of pride in being
Jewish and to become more engaged
in their own Jewish journey.
"We say Tamarack is the great-
est place on Earth:' Miller said. "But
what does that really mean? What
that means is to be living Jewishly
out here in such a beautiful place in
nature, where we give young people
the opportunity to have fun, to engage
in activities that they don't have the
opportunity to do anywhere else, and
to be touched by a Jewish spark that
will hopefully stay with them as they
grow and become valuable members
of our Jewish community"
