An accessible and engaging treatment of the experience of Jewish
summer camps. This book tells the story of how Jewish camps have
emerged as creators of positive spiritual experiences for Jewish
youth in North America. When Jewish camps began at the dawn of the
twentieth century, their leaders had little interest in creating
Jewish spiritual experiences for their campers. Yet over the course
of the past century, Jewish camps have gradually moved into
providing primal Jewish experiences that diverse campers can enjoy,
parents appreciate, and alumni fondly recall. Making Shabbat Real
explores how Shabbat at camp became the focal point for these
primal Jewish experiences, providing an interesting perspective on
changing approaches to Jewish education and identity in North
America.
