Welcome to Herzl Camp

“I believe this is the most important thing that Herzl teaches you about Judaism; a sense of community. That we are all one, and this special connection brings us closer to G-d, closer to ourselves, and closer to each other.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“Apart from learning my place within the Jewish community, Herzl helped me form opinions about important and pertinent Jewish topics, learn to work with other people, and taught me what it means to be a leader.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“…Herzl provides a sense of belonging to something that no one can take away.”

~ past Herzl Camper

“Herzl Camp has taught me the essential skills that have made me who I am today.”
