THE
RAMBAM RECORD |
Camp Morasha became Camp Rambam this week as the talmidim enjoyed two days of well-deserved recreation in the picturesque Pocono Mountains before the big push for finals. Virtually the entire student body joined the trip, many of whom came from sleepovers with friends the night before. The boys arrived early Tuesday morning May 17th, davened, some vaiskin, and then departed on luxurious coach busses to the camp. There the boys spent two glorious days of sunshine playing sports, eating good food, davening and learning with one another in a beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Como. (Read more...)

Rambam
Commemorates Israel Independence Day
| Artifacts of Jewish History |
Mr. Berkowitz presented a fascinating history lesson on Medieval Jewish History with artifacts including antique coins and ancient documents from the destruction of the Bais Miktash. He also presented a fascinating history of "blood libel," in which Chistians accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children to make their wine and matzohs during Pesach. Mr. Berkowitz 's presentation helped to make this history come alive for the students. Awesome! |
