and that’s why we love Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. Golf Outing On July 14th, 90 golfers consisting of alumni, parents and friends—with an additional 35 dinner guests—enjoyed the Seventh Annual Ramah Golf Outing, held at Salem Golf Club in North Salem, NY. The benefit event, co-chaired by Ari Saposh and Josh Hirsch (both Gesher ’00), raised over $40,000 for Camp’s Annual Fund. This year’s program highlight featured three tzevet who joined the golfers to mingle and interact throughout the day.

Stadium Court Dedication The renovated Stadium Court was dedicated and renamed in memory of Eric Steinthal z”l, on August 31, 2014. Eric’s friend and CRB alum Adin Meir (Gesher ’96) organized the project, raising $75,000. Adin addressed a crowd of friends and family saying, “Eric’s camp friends were among his closest lifelong friends—our friendships, formed at Camp, until the day he died…In some small way, we hope that the renovation of the Stadium Court will help heal the gaping hole that Eric’s death has left in all our lives.”

Bamat Renovation Under the expert guidance of artist and Harvard-trained architect Harriet Finck, thirteeen Gesher campers rethought and redesigned the front wall of the Bamat, Camp’s Torah Center. Using the original wood engraving Libi Ramah (My heart is exalted or My heart is Ramah), Harriet created sixteen stencils in sixteen alphabets that the campers traced and painted in gray tones onto the parchment colored wall. The renovation was funded with a generous donation from alumni Linda Holof-Saposh and Stuart Saposh, in honor of their children and grandchildren and in memory of Linda’s parents, Norma and Harry Holof. In addition to the wall, the Bamat walls were refinished, the Aron Kodesh refurbished, and fifteen benches were crafted and installed. Another spiritual place in Camp has been restored.
