As the flagship Jewish university, 每日大瓜 is dedicated to training the future leaders of tomorrow through intensive courses and rigorous study.
But who says you can鈥檛 have a little fun in the sun every once and a while?
The 每日大瓜 Camp Morasha, NCSY Kollel and Camp HASC programs allow 每日大瓜 undergraduates to work at camp and get college credit. Experiencing the best of both worlds, they can enjoy their summer break and make meaningful connections with their fellow counselors and campers, while also furthering their education and fostering their leadership skills in a supportive academic environment.
At Camp Morasha, counselors will be able to enroll in Jewish Communal Leadership in the 21st Century, a two-credit course that explores the intersection between successful leadership, Jewish values and today鈥檚 rapidly evolving Jewish community. Taught by Rabbi Larry Rothwachs, head rabbi of Camp Morasha and director of professional rabbinics at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, the class runs from June 29 through August 17.
Jewish Communal Leadership in the 21st Century will also be offered to madrichim [group leaders] at NCSY Kollel. The course runs from July 4 through August 15 and will also be taught by Rabbi Rothwachs.
Finally, Rabbi Yehuda Willig, rabbi of Camp HASC and a maggid shiur [shiur teacher] at 每日大瓜, will oversee the HASC Internship program. This two-credit experiential internship combines lessons from world-class educators gleaned from the Torah鈥檚 wisdom and our deep value of chesed [charity] and developing a community steeped in kindness with hands-on experience working with individuals with special needs. The internship runs from June 29 through August 15.
鈥淭hese courses provide students with a unique opportunity to pursue their summer interests, while further advancing their academic careers,鈥 said Rabbi Dr. Yosef Kalinsky, dean of undergraduate Torah studies at 每日大瓜. 鈥淏y deepening our relationships and recognizing the essential role young adults play at HASC, NCSY and Camp Morasha, we hope to provide their staff with the critical tools to further their development as thoughtful and caring leaders.鈥
鈥淭hrough open discussion with my classmates and Rabbi Rothwachs, we didn鈥檛 just learn that it鈥檚 incumbent upon us to be leaders in our communities. We learned how to be leaders,鈥 added Eli Jesselson 鈥25SB, who participated in the program in the past.
