Religious Getaway Camp

When I grow up I plan on doing great things. I want to help Jews become more religious. I want to teach fellow Jews the Torah and the Hebrew language. I want to teach them the holiness of Shabbat and other Jewish holidays. These ideas combine to form my main idea, a religious get-away, which is my dream that I hope to accomplish. The idea for a religious get-away first struck me while I was at Jewish sleepaway camp during the summer. I found many non-observant Jews who didn’t know the basics of their heritage or history. I found a lot of people who weren’t religious. They didn’t keep shabbos and didn’t know the Hebrew language. I believe that all Jews should know basic Jewish knowledge. We all need to be brought closer to our creator, our one and only G-d, Hashem. If we all learn this, Mashiach will come. The way this will inspire me is I will be able to teach Jews from around the world Torah knowledge and it will brighten up their life and mine. I will go into depth and learn things from the Torah maybe I didn’t know before.

My greatest accomplishment will be the creation of this program, a spiritual getaway for people who are interested in exploring their faith and trying to come closer to Hashem. The resort is open to people of all religious backgrounds and even people who are interested in learning about conversion to Judaism. …show more content…

Finally, they have the rest of the night off to do whatever they
