Jerusalem Camp, 2008 - 5768

Shalom everyone! 2008 Jerusalem Camp was Nifla! Incroyable!
Oofta! Shaloha Oy!
Here are new
photos from the 2008 Camp that Zev just posted. Here are Sandy Leeder's
videos of
our davening at Jerusalem Camp. And, here
are photos by the incomparable Levi Welton.
Creating Jerusalem Camp at the Rainbow Gathering is an immense effort
on the part of Zev Padway and the others who exert themselves to buy the
food and haul it and the gear for miles over rocky, hilly footpaths at
9,200 feet, construct an infrastructure with local deadwood, and have
a delicious Shabbat feast ready for a crowd of 200 people. And that was
just the first of two Shabbats in a row at Rainbow. Such effort needs
any support you can offer. Here
are instructions on how to donate.

by Zev and his crew cannot be measured in dollars and cents...]

Here is a useful checklist of things to
bring to the Gathering.
The Rainbow
Guide is quite useful.

Jerusalem Camp at the National Gathering of the Rainbow Family
Since 1972 thousands of people gather each year, in the National Forests
of America, to create an intentional community, called a Gathering, and
to pray together for world peace on the 4th of July. For over a month,
hundreds of small camps are built in the woods, that surround the main
meadow, where the day of prayer and celebration occurs. These camps, centered
around kitchens, cater for each others needs in a money-less economy.
Many different cultures and groups are represented, as well as thousands
of young searching souls.
As one would expect, a large percentage of these people are Jewish. Each
year Jerusalem Camp builds what has become the well known, Jerusalem Camp
Kitchen. We provide Kosher, Organic, vegetarian meals, in a Jewish communal
setting. Opportunities abound for Torah Classes, Hebrew chanting, prayer
groups, personal sharing, celebrations of lifecycle events, friendship,
positive experiences and, of course, Shabbat under the stars. Rich,
deep, life connections are made between people, many earnestly seeking
to add deeper meaning to their lives. Jewish books and literature are
available. We also provide free plane tickets to Israel for those who
are wanting to go and study further. Each year, B"H, many take us
up on that very special offer.

Our Success
Thank G-d we are unbelievably successful. Each year we inspire many to
enrich their lives by connecting in a deep and meaningful way to their
Jewish roots. There is no question that the lives of hundreds of people
are strengthened as they embrace their Judaism in new ways and join with
those of all faiths to work together for the common good. Please read
some of these testimonials,
or watch this wonderful video on youtube.
More descriptions of Jerusalem Camp at Rainbow are on our about
