Thank you to The Travel Mom, Emily Kaufman, for including me in her marvelous #CampTravelMom weekend at the San Diego Mission Bay Resort! My favorite thing growing up was going to Jewish summer camp and it was such a blast to return to that feeling with a friend from Stephen Wise Temple!
Dinner with Visit San Diego, Madam Tussauds and LegoLand California
I absolutely loved my time at Camp Travel Mom, where the excitement was off the charts! The weekend was an extraordinary blend of travel writers, karaoke, and disco, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and exhilaration.
One unforgettable night, we took the stage by storm, showcasing our karaoke skills and unleashing our inner rockstars.
Breakfast by the Pool with RVShare and TravelGuard
Seaside Brunch Bliss with Atlantis Bahamas, Expedia, VRBO, Hotels.com and Travel Costa Mesa
Afternoon Adventures with Massage Envy, pool side drinks with The Palm Beaches Florida, Grand Hyatt Kauai and Plant Juice Oils
And let me tell you, the disco night was an absolute blast! We danced the night away, donning our most outrageous costumes for an epic contest. To add to the fun, I brought my trusty hula hoop, spinning and twirling to the beat of the music.
With the support of incredible brand sponsors, we also enjoyed thrilling jet ski rides, valuable networking opportunities, and luxurious massages. Camp Travel Mom truly knows how to create an experience that ignites passion, sparks connections, and leaves you with lifelong memories.
Anti-Zionism is a lot more than ideological opposition to a Jewish state. It is the continuation of an ancient project centered on producing Jewish villains.
Bitachon isn’t tested by flight delays. That’s merely a practice session. It’s tested when a marriage dissolves, when illness enters the body, when one’s home burns to the ground, or when someone we love is suddenly gone.
What needs to change is our body language and our attitude. We are not just proud Jews who fight haters but proud Jews who love America and champion the American Dream.
There are irreplaceable aspects of the human experience — empathy, creativity and genuine connection — that technology cannot replicate despite the overwhelming profit motive to do so.
There are many Americans who support us and might even increase that support if the Jewish community creates fertile ground for cultivating their support.
If we shrug this off as harmless youthful ignorance, we’ll be teaching the next generation that nothing matters —that the suffering of others is just another costume to try on.
Though Lincoln himself was not Jewish, his words of support drawn from the faith of history’s first Jew continue to serve as a chord of comfort in the American consciousness.
The Obergefell litigation and its aftermath is a perfect illustration of how the legal theory of cultural analysis can move us beyond the endless spiral of polarization and strife we now face.
