In Jerome Chanes’s article about the Camp Massad Reunion (“Recalling The Golden Age Of Hebrew Culture In America,” July 1), he talks about a world that is lost and that we Camp Massad alumni mourn. How true and sad.
I hope as an alumnus that present-day Jewish camps will learn and imitate what we learned from Camp Massad. What we learned is Jewish unity, tolerance for our fellow Jews and a love for Eretz and Medinat Yisrael, the land and state of Israel. For all the talk that I hear in synagogues about Jewish unity, we at Massad practiced it.
