Jewish State of Mine
A Jewish State of Mine is a mind-blowing interactive program that invite a participants to imagine how would a second Jewish state would look like if we had a chance as a community to establish a new one. Introducing 4 stunning custom design board games and a deck of 80 knowledge cards, participants will create a proposal for a second utopian Jewish State, as well as discovering and discussing the complexities of Israel and the talk about the conflict. By experiencing the use of the board games, we will reveal more creative ways of using the kit to impact campers and staff throughout the summer!

Is It Torah-annical? Wrestling with Ourselves: A Theater of the Oppressed Workshop
In this program we explore the fundamentals of Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed techniques, a theater methodology that helps us dig into truths about freedom and oppression, power and choice. After a foundational grounding in the method, we will layer, on top of our new responsive insights, an investigation of Judaism’s most intractable stories, laws, and conflicts. We will have an opportunity to put ourselves into famous moments of Jewish History and ask: what would you have said to Aaron when the Golden Calf was being built in Sinai? Was there another way things could have been resolved between Sarah and Hagar in Genesis? What can we learn from these stories (and more like them!) about who we are as Jews living today? By the end of our 3 -day- workshop, we will perform our ensemble-created short pieces and ask our camp to join us in wrestling with some of Judaism’s most famous dilemmas.
Key Topics
Jewish Text, Leadership Development, Performance
