RAMAH CAMPER AND HARRY POTTER

Expecting a post about Labor Day Weekend? Don't worry. It's coming.

But in the meantime, the Ramah Bloggerette came across this Jewish Week article about Harry Potter as an educational tool. It also features comments by Yehudit Shuster, an SAR student and Ramah camper who won her school's Harry Potter club's essay contest comparing HP's vision of his parents in the Mirror of Erised to Moses' glimpse of the Land of Israel, that he would never experience in his lifetime:

“Both of them saw what they most desired and knew they were never going to experience it,” Yehudit said in a phone interview from Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.

Our campers sure are terrific--the Ramah Bloggerette approves of this melding of Judaism with popular culture. Yasher koach, Yehudit.
