Jewishness to the Conservative world
and trying to educate their peer group
especially about what that means:'
The Ramah camping movement
began in 1947 through the National
Ramah Commission and the Jewish
Theological Seminary; there are eight
residential camps and three day camps
across North America. Metro Detroiters
typically attend Camp Ramah in Canada,
about two hours north of Toronto.
"The Ramah experience is a great way
to expand your Jewish identity in an
intensive environment for the summer;

him as a newcomer to town. Eli worked
at three different Ramah camps. He's
also a professional baker who's bracing
himself for his first real Michigan winter.
Fellow No. 3 is a young woman who's
right at home in Metro Detroit. Darrien
Sherman, 22, grew up in Bloomfield
Hills and graduated from the University
of Michigan. She was a camper at Ramah
Canada from ages 10-17 and also worked
there as a staff member for two years.
"I think it's a wonderful opportunity
to get Ramah's presence back on the
map and strengthen the Metro Detroit
connection to Ramah Canada: she
said. "[Being a Ramah Fellow] is also
a way to give back to the Detroit com-
munity. There are so many opportuni-
ties presenting themselves here for
young Jews:"

etro Detroit's newest Moishe
House already has a built-in
rivalry. Three house members
are Michigan State University grads and
one is a graduate of the University of
Michigan. They all spent several years
together and became friends at Tamarack
Camps. We asked the group what
inspired them to start a Moishe House in
Royal Oak.
"We want to give post-graduate
adults and young professionals a
place to feel the sense of Jewish
community we think is currently
missing," said Josh Fishman, 25, of
Farmington Hills. "Many of us were
involved with Hillel or other Jewish
organizations, and it's easy to lose
sight of those opportunities upon
entering the professional world.
There are many people ages 22-30
who moved away from Michigan
after college and have since returned
to the Detroit area. Our hope is that
the Moishe House will be a place to
bring our rapidly growing commu-
nity back together"
The new house members:
• Josh Fishman, 25, of
Farmington Hills
A graduate of Hillel Day School
in Farmington Hills and a lifelong
camper/counselor at Tamarack
Camps in Ortonville, Josh spent a
year working at Michigan State Hillel
as a program associate and also
played an active role as a student.
"We hope to bring people who are
currently uninvolved in the Jewish
community to our Moishe House"
• Jordan Rosenbaum, 24, of West
Bloomfield
Jordan is a 2012 graduate of
Michigan State. He works for Centria
Healthcare in Brighton.
"I'm excited to use this opportu-
nity to establish my own relation-
ship with the Jewish community of
Detroit as an adult:'
• Josh Stewart, 24, of West
Bloomfield
A graduate of the University of
Michigan, Josh is currently taking
classes at Wayne State University and
plans to apply for medical school this
summer.
"I have experience as a teacher and
discussion facilitator at U-M and a
supervisor at Tamrack," he says. "I
am very comfortable organizing, net-
working, reaching out to new people
and anything else that's needed"
• Ben Goutkovitch, 22, of West
Bloomfield
Ben grew up in the suburbs of
Detroit, but his parents are Israeli, so
he also speaks Hebrew. He attended
Frankel Jewish Academy in West
Bloomfield and has been an active
participant at the Jewish Community
Center, MSU Hillel and Tamarack
Camps. He's a Michigan State
graduate with a bachelor's degree
in psychology. He also has a music
background.
