Givah's got Talent too! Boker Tov,
We’ve been working hard to have some awesome videos created by former Givah staff coming your way every Monday and Thursday throughout the summer, starting next week. We’d love to include our chanichim (campers) if they’d like to be included! Simply email us a video of your child/ren telling a joke or sharing a talent to givahinfo@gmail.com. We hope you’re staying cool! Dan and Rachael |

Dear Givah Family,
We hope that you remain in good health during this challenging time. I’m sure you and your child have been awaiting an answer about summer camp. With a heavy heart, we share with you that Givah will not be offering camp this summer. After we spent many long days speaking with our Temple Israel leadership, our board and medical professionals working to find solutions to every possible contingency, ultimately the uncertainties are still too great this close to the camp season. Our focus is first and foremost on the health and safety of our campers and staff and on preserving the Jewish camp experience.
We know this is heartbreaking news. None of us ever imagined a scenario like this, but we are confident that we will join on the hill (the “Givah”) once again. Please stay safe and healthy, and we can’t wait to see you for summer 2021. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here for you and the campers.
L’Hitraot,
Dan and Rachael
