Monday August 12/8 Av – Erev Tisha B’Av

DATE: August 13, 2024

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to send a quick update before the fast starts here.

Today was a normal day, with regular peulot, but without music or swimming peulot, until after Shekem, when campers went to take showers, followed by dinner, where everyone had tacos with fake meat and cereal. At the end of dinner, eggs, bread, and ashes were passed out, and each bunk went back to their bunkhouse to eat and finish preparing for the tzom.

Tonight, we will daven Maariv in the Outdoor Beit Knesset, followed by the reading of Eicha in the Indoor Beit Knesset. We walk by bunk and anaf and sing “Al Eleh Ani Bochiya”, taken from Eicha. We will hear Eicha, say a few Kinnot, and have a “Round Robin”, where Tzevet present the stories of the Kinot to the campers.

Wishing everyone a Tzom Kal, and we are all hoping and davening for nechama and geula for all of Am Yisrael.

About the Chanukah Raffle

Dear Camp Stone Community,

It is an incredible feeling to reconnect with everyone once again at the beginning of our 2021 camp season.

We are writing to you today, first and foremost, to express tremendous gratitude.

Hakarat HaTov, literally “recognizing the good”, is an important and fundamental principle in our community. We, at Camp Stone, want to express our Hakarat HaTov to everyone receiving this email for your unwavering support, especially this past summer. Whether you provided financial assistance through your donated tuition dollars, participated in Indoor World, or connected with the Camp Stone community in other ways, together we had an incredibly successful, albeit different, summer experience.

There is no substitute for being in Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania, and this summer, B’ezrat Hashem, we will be back at Camp Stone, in person, in full force.

To achieve that goal, we must continue to ensure the financial success of our home away from home that we all know and love so deeply. The logo on top, featuring the slogan “Stone. Forever.” also features a Ner Tamid, an “eternal flame.” The year 1969, etched into the logo, is the year camp was founded. Symbolically, the overall image represents the idea that Camp Stone began many years ago and must endure forever, always burning brightly, and always an integral part of our collective conscience.

On that note, we are excited to announce that our annual Chanukah Campaign will be a raffle taking place over all 8 nights of Chanukah with prizes for both campers and parents/alumni!!

Please go back to the web page  to purchase raffle tickets and help us achieve 100% participation from our entire camp community!

Looking forward to being in touch with all of you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Yakov & Estee, Co-Directors
