Mina Pasajlic — The JDC-Lauder International Jewish Youth Camp at Szarvas is perceived today as the single most important Jewish outreach and educational programme in Central and Eastern Europe; it is a key symbol for Eastern European Jewry. This paper emphasises the importance of the Szarvas camp, located some 170 km south-east of Budapest in Hungary, and its impact on the Jewish identity of the Central and Eastern European participants, and by extension on their families and communities. It focuses on the camp’s history and uniqueness, and includes a personal experience on the part of the author, who has participated in the camp and today works as its programme director. It also presents information collected from those who have experienced the impact of the camp on themselves.

Gefen Beldie, who is a junior this year at Atlanta Jewish Academy, has spent most of her life in Israel and in the security of her Toco Hills community, where there are six synagogues within a mile of her house and where being Jewish is as easy as breathing.  Gefen never imagined the kinds of conversations she’d have as one of 19 U.S. teenagers accepted to attend Camp Szarvas, an international Jewish summer camp run by the JDC in Hungary and supported by Federation. Campers attend Szarvas from all over the world and for most of them it’s the most Jewish experience they’ve ever had.

Levi says it was the JDC-Lauder International Jewish Summer Camp at Szarvas that made the difference between “knowing” about the Jewish world and learning about the different “realities” of the Jewish world.

I found the camp to be very similar to Ramah, where I grew up – infinite spirit through singing, dancing, and cheers; days filled with activities like arts and crafts, sports, and swimming; Jewish programming planned by Madrichim (counselors) at all times of the day. I was exited when I entered the camp, because it was fun and familiar for me.

Ez a mottója az idén húszadszorra megrendezésre kerülő szarvasi zsidó ifjúsági tábornak, ahol évente 2000 fiatal nyaral a világ legkülönbözőbb tájairól. A Körös parti városban már nem élnek zsidók, a tábor két turnusa alatt viszont a legszínesebb kulturális és vallási gyökerű fiatalok vesznek részt. Sokan itt találkoznak először a zsidósággal, a táborozók nagy része pedig a következő nyáron visszatér.
