I know, that sounds really over the top, but it's SO easy and makes a lovely Jewish Martha Stewart-esque gift. You can buy sheets of beeswax at Michaels. You fold the sheets in 3rds lengthwise and then each of those long ones in half, and place a wick firmly into one end, then start rolling. You get a beautiful candle, and if you choose a nice mixture of colors, you can really make a lovely set of 44. [...]

It's this sort of behavior that makes it so impossible for the "late deciders" to get into Ramah. On the other hand, it ensures a place for those like my kids who get home from Ramah only to immediately start counting down to when they can leave for camp again next year. [...]

They did send home an "early registration" form in August, offering a discount if we signed up now, but it will take me at least 6 months to save up a deposit, so it's not something I can do. [...]

The need to explain to our children what has happened, and to comfort their fears, is by and large universal--not specifically Jewish, as I see it. (There are definitely Jewish and Israeli angles to the politics and to the historical role of the Jewish people as an early-warning lightning rod for fanaticism and [...]
