The Epstein-Solomon
Schechter School of Atlanta will
initiate the first ulpan program
in Atlanta this fall for its
students in grades three through
six.
The ulpan method, originated
in Israel to quickly and efficient-

migrants, immerses the stu
in an ungraded classroom with a'
total Hebrew language environ
ment from the first day of in
struction.
The program uses tapes, pic
tures, slides, film strips, and
games, such as Hebrew Scrab
ble, to extend and deepen the
student’s Hebrew language
facility. The approach makes it
Epstein student* concentrate on intense game of Hebrew
Scrabble. ,<
feasible for the student to enter
the school at any grade and
gradually achieve the Hebrew
level of his class.
Reflections at the end of summer camp
by Laury Began
Has it really been ten weeks
since the staff arrived and eight
weeks since the first group of
campers arrived at Camp Bar
ney Medintz? Yes, it’s gone, an
other whole summer. I’ve got
thofee same feelings and
questions that Fve had at the
end of the past ten summers.
Did we do enough? Did the
campers grow? Did we help a
child find nimseif? So, I begin to
think and walk about this empty
deserted camp. When the
children are gone, eamp is a very
quiet, lonely, but still beautiful
place. Yes, there’s still God’s
beauty here. The tall pines
reaching for the sky, the broad
hardwoods, the cool placid lakes
and the cloud capped mountains.
But without the children, it’s as
if the camp has lost its soul.
As I think about it, it is only
natural that the camp seems to

have lost its soul. How can a
place that has been touched by
over 500 children be the same
after they have left. I remember
the sound of music and dancing
feet as girls and boys learned to
express themselves through
drama and dance. The thrill of a
camper sharing with his
bunkmates the excitement of
getting up on skiis or throwing
his first pot on the patters
wheel written all over his face. -
New experiences were abun
dant for both campers and staff.
Although they may not even
cook at home, groups invited me
to their campsites where we
Bhared gourmet delights. One of
the greatest thrills for me was
when the camper whoJtad been
afraid of horses ran tp tell me
that she had been riding on the
trait and was so excited and
proud.
There was always one thing
that could make even the
roughest day at camp turn out
right and that was listening to
counselors talk about lonely,
homesick or troubled campers
who had become an integral
member of the group. I guess
that’s really what camp Is all
about . . . seeing children grow
physically and emotionally dur
ing the summer.
Looking back on it all, my
fondest memory is being at ser
vices on Saturday morning. I
would listen to a twelve-year-old
child chant the Havdallah and
sense the excitement in par
ticipating in a service that he
and his friends had written
themselves. Etched in my mind,
forever, is the glow on the Unit 1
campers faces, marching
through the chapel, Torah in
hand. . —
Suddenly, all of my questions
seemed to be answered. Camp
Barney Medintx is the right
summer place for a child.
