Making Art, Making Meaning

Every Summer for the past four years I have had the opportunity to work at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.  It is a wondeful opportunity for my kids to go to camp, and for me to work with an amazing staff and transmit Judaism in an immersive and fun environment.  Every year I return refreshed and inpsired by the work, the colleagues, and the environment.

I wanted to share some of the amazing work my campers did this summer.  These kids, ages 12 to 15, chose to come to my art based Judaism classes (Jewish Learning thru Art).  Throughout the month we studied various Jewish texts, prayers and psalms, and used micrography, collage, acrylic paint and watercolor resist to create meaningful and beautiful works of art.  These campers were so thoughtful, hard working and insightful.  They were such a pleasure to work with.

Enjoy some of their amazing projects:
