Description

How do we carry the magic of Jewish camp—singing under the stars, joyful blessings around the table, the sound of Hebrew prayers woven with laughter and birdsong—into our daily lives once we’re back home? In this week’s sermon, recorded live Aug. 15, 2025, on Parashat Eikev, Rabbi Gellman of Temple Sholom invites us to explore the connection between joy, blessing, and action. Drawing from the spirited energy of OSRUI summer camp and the Torah’s call to “hear and do,” Rabbi Gellman reflects on how everyday rituals—friendship, song, gratitude, mitzvot—can extend the blessings of summer into the year ahead. Discover how to turn camp memories into meaningful practices, so joy becomes a renewable source of blessing for our homes, families, and community.
