We are driving to pick up our son from camp. He\’s been there three weeks, the longest stretch he\’s been away from us since his birth.\n\nIn this age of e-mails and BlackBerrys and cell phones, the rule at Camp Alonim at the Brandeis-Bardin Institute in Simi Valley is no e-mails, BlackBerrys or cell phones. He\’s sent us a few postcards home, clearly written by an 11-year-old who has put away childish things, like parents.\n\n\”Dear Family: We prayed and prayed and had havdalah end of story. Love, Adi. P.S. I love you. P.P.S. Tomorrow\’s our overnight and we\’re creating our own fire and no letters on Sunday.\”
