                IN HONOR OF CAMP RAMAH IN THE BERKSHIRES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 9, 2004

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Camp Ramah in the 
Berkshires as the Ramah family celebrates its 40th anniversary.
  Camp Ramah provides our community's youngsters a unique opportunity 
to interweave exposure to the beautiful countryside of the Berkshires 
with education in Jewish values and practice. The benefit of such 
experience is precious, and I commend Camp Ramah's continued efforts to 
extend that benefit to all children, regardless of economic 
limitations. The future of our community depends upon programs and 
experiences like those provided by Camp Ramah, which has a long history 
of cultivating knowledge and leadership in our community's youth.
  As Camp Ramah prepares to open its doors for the 40th time, I would 
like to commend those special honorees, Dr. Charles and Barbara Mann 
and Rabbi Paul and Martha Resnick, who have done so much for the camp 
and the values that it embodies. It is from teachers like Mr. Mann and 
Rabbi Resnick that the leaders of tomorrow gain the encouragement, 
enrichment, and values that they will need to make our future the best 
it can be. I send my warmest congratulations to the honorees, and thank 
them for their years of service.
  I wish Camp Ramah's extended family of friends and supporters a 
wonderful evening of entertainment and celebration, and I join you in 
wishing for the camp 40 more successful years.
