CAMP NEWMAN GATHERING
In the Talmud, there's a phrase "Kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh," meaning all of Israel are responsible for each other. In the wake of the fires that devastated Camp Newman, and knowing how many in our NFTY community were affected, we are planning an activity to come together so we can talk, support and comfort each other.
