 CAMP!

 Dear Friends:

 As summer is about to roll around, it's only natural to give thought to what everyone's summer plans are going to be.  And one of the things that I love about Westchester is that there seems to be an almost ingrained culture in which so many of our families send their young people to sleep away camp for all or part of the summer. 

The experience of living full time away from home was a highlight of my own childhood....but in my circle of friends in South Jersey, I was one of the very few who had this kind of experience!  It's refreshing to live in a community that understands the magic of what can happen at camp.

           This has been a remarkable year filled with significant change. We started this year with a new Rabbi (and a new president). We end it with the hire of a new Director of Learning - Rabbi Wendy Pein. And through it all we shared our lives as we built real relationships with one another. I am so grateful to all the many lay leaders who invest their time all year long to help make SSTTE the special community that it is.
