Gala

The 2022 Camp Ramah in the Berkshires Gala was held at Temple Emanu-El in Closter, New Jersey and honored Joan & Harvey Bucholtz and Amy & Rick Atlas. Joan and Harvey have been generous benefactors and volunteers for Ramah Berkshires since the 1970s. Their three daughters attended camp and now the next generation, their grandchildren, have started spending their summers at Ramah. Amy and Rick Atlas also have deep ties to Ramah Berkshires The couple’s two sons attended camp and Rick (Gesher ’89), a former Ramah Berkshires camper and staff member, serves on our Executive Committee. The Alumni Leadership Award was presented to the Hirsch siblings: Josh (Gesher ’01), Sigal (Gesher ’05), Sarah (Gesher ’09), and Max (Gesher ’12), for their years of dedicated service to Ramah. Over 250 members of our Ramah Berkshires community attended this special evening, which included cocktails, dancing, raffle prizes, and a silent auction. A huge success, the 2022 Gala raised over $230,000 for our Ramah Berkshires Annual Fund, which provides funding for new programming, staff training, and scholarships

Golf Outing

Our 15th Annual Ramah Berkshires Golf and Pool Outing was held on August 8, 2022, and our amazing co-chairs were Jesse David (Gesher ’00), Sam Goodman (Gesher ’04), and Josh Wohl (Gesher ’06). It raised over $25,000 for the Ramah Berkshires Annual Fund.

Give the Gift of Camp

This Young Alumni Fundraiser was co-chaired by the incredible Emily Rebenstock (Gesher ’11) and Sarah Saad (Gesher ’11). In honor of this event, many of our alumni shared memories and throwback photos on social media. Ultimately, 340 alumni donated to this campaign, which raised over $43,000 for camp scholarships The funds received from this initiative will ensure that future children will be able to form lifelong friendships, grow in their Jewish identity, and experience the magic of a kayitz (summer) at Ramah just as our alumni once did before them.
