Arts & Cooking

Two smiling children sit at an outdoor table in a wooded area, painting with bright colors on a plate. One child dips a brush in water while the other grins, both wearing face masks around their necks.

Creative Arts

Our omanut (art) specialists bring a rich background in Jewish and secular art. In addition to making classic Judaic art like clay hamsas and mezuzot, our campers also learn to replicate the pop art style of Andy Warhol, for example, adding in their own personal or Jewish flair. Here are some highlights from our omanut department:

Jewelry-making
Clay sculpture
Candle-making
Mosaics
Melted Beads

Water-color painting
Weaving, Sewing and Needlepoint
Wood burning
Glass Painting
Wax Sculpting

Performing Arts

Singing and dancing are a part of Ramah culture. Our day begins with Israeli dancing on our beautiful migrash (field), and our Rosh Shira (music specialist) teaches Hebrew music and Ramah classics to each of our edot (divisions) as part of their Zman Migvan (group activity) rotation each session.

Campers with particular interest in performing arts can elect to take a drama, rikud (dance), and/or music chug (elective) in the afternoon as well.

A smiling child wearing glasses and a rainbow-patterned shirt sits cross-legged, playing a hand drum. A purple water bottle is next to her, and greenery is in the softly blurred background.

A group of children sit in a circle under a tent outdoors, watching two adults play guitar and clap on a colorful tie-dye cloth in the center. The scene is festive, with kids wearing colorful shirts and some adults assisting.

Children and a young man stand outside on grass, smiling and dancing with their arms outstretched. Trees and hills are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Bishul (Cooking)

One of our most popular electives is our bishul (cooking) chug. Campers learn about healthy, safe, and kosher cooking by rolling up their sleeves in the kitchen and outdoors. Our campers learn proper cutting technique by making salads, and moving proportions by baking chocolaty treats. Taste tests are always part of the process!
