LISHMA- An Egalitarian Yeshiva-Study Summer Program |
Mission Statement:
LISHMA is an extraordinary Jewish learning experience - a 4 - week, intensive summer yeshiva for the young adult Jews (18 - 25) at beautiful Camp Ramah in California. Lishmaniks live among the orange groves in the beautiful LISHMA house, learn traditional Jewish prayer, study daily with a renowned Talmud scholar, engage in weekly social action projects, and hear lectures from prominent rabbis and scholars throughout the summer. Lishmaniks also enjoy the recreation facilities of Camp Ramah, including an Olympic sized pool, tennis and basketball courts, art and ceramics, hiking and more. Other highlights include a weekend camping trip to the Channel Islands, as well as ongoing spiritual mentoring with LISHMA Directors Lizzi Heydemann and Jordan Gerson, both students at the Ziefler School of Rabbinic Studies. This summer's dates are June 17 - July 16, 2007.

LISHMA is the perfect experience for the interested beginner, for someone with text study background, or for someone considering rabbinical school or a career in Jewish education.
