Jewish Values

We welcome everyone into the Camp Ruach family!

RUACH
Spirit in Hebrew, is what we aim to bring to camp each day

There are a few special camp elements which showcase Jewish life and are rooted in culture, language, community and values.

The Jewish programming we bring to camp are at its core human values and something to which all can connect.

Integrating Jewish Values

Hakhnasat Orhim

Welcoming ALL with Friendship

Respect For One Another

Gemilut Hasadim

Kindness and Compassion

Tikkun Olam

Improving the World

Shalom Bayit

Peace in Our Community

Tzedakah

Mitzvah Magic

We are excited to offer a Mitzvah Magic activity for each age group once a week. These activities are focused on community service projects or exploring a Jewish value or concept, also lovingly referred to as Human values. These activities remind us of the important to take care of each other, our community, and our world.

Jewish Value Tuesday

Each week has a special Jewish value which connects to the week’s theme and is explored throughout camp. Such values include that of friendship, caring for the environment, community, and more!

Shabbat

Every Friday morning the camp gathers together for a camp wide Shabbat Celebration to culminate the end of a busy and exciting week. Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath and day of rest, is celebrated through song, eating of Challah (braided egg bread), and exploration of tradition.
