About This Event
Join us for Camp Gesher Spring Fest & Fundraiser—an afternoon filled with live band music, delicious food trucks, fun kids’ entertainment, and an exciting rope course for all ages, all in support of Camp Gesher, a signature program of Shalom Institute and the only camp in North America created specifically for campers from Russian-speaking Jewish families.
This year, our goal is to raise $18,000 to bring up to 20 Israeli teens to Camp Gesher—young people who have been displaced from their homes in Northern Israel since October 8, 2023. Your support will help give them a summer of healing, friendship, safety, and connection.
Thanks to your generosity last year, we successfully brought 13 Israeli teens to Camp Gesher. That experience was truly life-changing—not only for the Israeli teens, but also for our local campers, who formed deep friendships, learned from one another, and experienced the power of a shared Jewish community.
Camp Gesher is more than a camp—it is a global bridge, bringing together Russian-speaking Jewish youth from around the world to celebrate Jewish identity, build lasting relationships, and strengthen our collective future.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you—and we hope you’ll continue helping us make a meaningful difference together.
