“It’s now time for the medical community to recognize that ultimately Hashem is pulling the strings”
Thank you for a wonderful publication!
Your recent feature article on gedolei hador spending time in summer camps evoked nostalgia and memories of a bygone era. Who can forget the iconic picture of Rav Moshe Feinstein sitting outside learning in camp in Kerhonkson, New York?
Having attended Camp Ma-Na-Vu for a few years, I can never forget the sight of Rav Tuvia Goldstein ztz”l and later Rav Dovid Kviat ztz”l sitting and learning at a picnic table under a tree. The presence of the gedolim in camp elevated the whole camping experience.
My grandfather, Rabbi Avrohom Newhouse ztz”l, pioneered the first girls camp in the US — Camp Bais Yaakov in Ferndale, New York — and many gedolim and their families summered there.
What comes to mind as well, is Zucker’s Hotel in Glen Wild, New York (and later the La Vista Hotel in South Fallsburg, New York) where many gedolim such as my other grandfather, Rav Mendel Krawiec ztz”l, spent their summers.
