First national gathering of Reconstructionist teens convenes, led by Rabbi Jeffrey Eisenstat and Marilyn Price.
Camp Havaya has been, and continues to be, a refuge for thousands of kids to experience individual growth, explore their Jewish identity, and be part of an incredibly accepting and diverse community. Explore this page to see what we’re planning throughout our anniversary year and join us in celebrating this important milestone!
We’re thrilled that we have exceeded our goal for the Fund for the Future! The generosity of our donors has made this (and so much else!) possible, and we are beyond grateful.
