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.
This work was originally issued as a two-volume set, published in
1987 and 1988. It constitutes the definitive presentation of the
system of classifying moral judgment built up by Lawrence Kohlberg
and his associates over a period of twenty years. Researchers in
human development and education around the world, many of whom have
worked with interim versions of the system - indeed, all those
seriously interested in understanding the development of moral
judgment - will find it a useful and accessible resource. Volume 1
reviews Kohlberg's stage theory, and the large body of research on
the significance and utility of his moral stages. Issues of
reliability and validity are addressed. The volume ends with
detailed instructions for using the reference sections, which are
presented in volume 2.
Joseph Reimer uses his experience and talent as an ethnographer to
bring to life the drama of one synagogue's struggle to meet this
challenge and make Jewish education work. Reimer spent more than
two years as an observer within the synagogue, studying the
afternoon religious education programs for children, families, and
adults. As a result of his classroom observations, and his
conversations with rabbis, teachers, and parents, Reimer comes away
with important insights into what makes Jewish education succeed.
