ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia [FJC] — More than 150 children have just finished spending a wonderful two weeks a the ‘Amichai’ camp, run by the Jewish community of Rostov-on-Don and sponsored by the Ohr Avner Foundation and the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia. At a picturesque site on the bank of the Don River, participants came from multiple locations including Orenburg, Perm, Krasnodar, Volgograd, Kostroma, Kursk, Novorossiisk, Novocherkassk, Sochi, Svetliy Yar, and numerous other smaller cities.
Materialism is becoming a cancer to the American Jewish community. Our children feel entitled. They are often spoiled. They take and do not know how to give back. They are part of a ‘me’ generation where self-absorption is lifetime’s calling.
That’s why this summer I arranged for three of my teenage children to work as volunteers in the children’s camp of Rabbi Yossi Turk in Cordoba, Argentina. The work is not easy and our children, while working very hard, also complained that there weren’t enough recreational outlets. I reminded them that Rabbi Turk and his wife have been in Cordoba ensuring that thousands of Israeli backpackers have a place for Shabbos not for two weeks, but for 22 years. You don’t hear them complaining.
