It’s a beautiful thing to have a camp scholarship for children of rabeim and avreichim who can’t afford to send their child to camp. Let’s just remember though that there are children of working parents who also can’t afford to send their children to camp. Just because someone is working doesn’t mean that they are well off.
lakewood is no place for teens to hang out during the summer!! to many have already fallen into despair!
I agree with #1.
What about the fine working people that are struggling to make ends meet and have to send their kids to camp.
Camp is important- very important – especially for teenagers.
@think you are correct 100% right.
I was just about to say the same thing as”To think about it.” Many working families also struggle to pay even the regular bills, let alone pay for camp. When I saw this headline I was thrilled. Then I saw it’s not available for me. Happy for those that it does help though.
The Reality is to my knowledge most Pre Pesach and Pre Sukkos campaigns are to help Kollel Avreichim and Rebbeim who definitely need the extra help and many discounts in camps are given to them as well.As one who is involved in a Gemach for many years i can vouch for the many,many poor hard working “middle class” families who suffer financially and live very simply but don’t get the kupat Yom Tov or the camp discounts and are not eligible for Govt. Programs etc… I don’t have the answer but the time has come for “Adopt a Bal Habayis”.
More ppl could use the scholarship, but because its limited they chose to focus on klai kodesh. Makes sense to me.
I did not notice anywhere that this is for rebbeim. Why not assume its for whoever needs like the other camp funds
I like that – ‘adopt a Bal Habayis’.
I agree with those that posted about assistance for the working family. However, I think that they should get together and go out there and raise the money and start such a fund.
I personally had the same feelings about weddings and have gone knocking on doors to help some of my working middle-class friends so they can marry off their children with dignity.
I personally can’t afford camp so I have my children work instead, but if you think it is important then don’t just complain get out there and do something to change it!
Shevet Levi is correct. Every shul Rav should be involved as to who is eligible. Everyone has a shul member or a neighbor that is struggling quietly!!! Trust me.
