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.
Jewish efforts to secure access to public funding on the same terms as other educational institutions are not only as American as apple pie; they are as Jewish as matzah balls.
You may choose to stay where you are. And that’s fine — we need people willing to fight in coastal cities that no longer seem to appreciate the contributions of Jews.
Its pages attest to the miraculous nature of Jewish survival and the invaluable contribution of one covenantal nation, the United States, to another, in ensuring the spiritual flourishing of the Nation of Israel.
In his statement, Grundmann claims that “Israel ‘art students’ wired Twin Towers for 9/11 controlled demolition” and that “planes did NOT destroy [sic] towers. Israel did.”
With a university filled with silence from administrators, as well as anger and indifference to the plight of persecuted Jewish students, we Jewish academics need to shift our focus.
From Auschwitz to a Rebbe’s yahrzeit. From a child’s hometown to his grandfather’s grave. From mourning to memory to hope. The journey I did not plan turned out to be the one I needed most.
The decision for Republicans is between pro-Trump and pre-Trump factions, representing dramatically different constituencies and focused on equally dramatically different policy goals.
The stories of the Jewish suffering in Arab lands during World War II and beyond needs to be kept alive. If I can change one young person’s mind, I feel I’ll have accomplished my mission.
A “joke” on the possible death of a president doesn’t win you the glory of becoming a free speech martyr with your Trump-hating comrades. It just makes you a lousy comedian.
The question we should be asking right now is not: will this happen again? It absolutely could happen again. But what ideological systems are creating today’s moral contagion?
The goal is to nurture the students’ social, emotional, and academic skills, helping them discover new ideas, contextualize what’s happening today, and address the rise in antisemitism.
It is this balance—of remembrance and renewal, sacrifice and pride—that defines Israel. And perhaps, more than anything, it is what sustains the spirit of its people.
