Headline of the Day


The Daughter of Ivanka Left for Hassidic Summer Camp


  -- Kipa

This is funny. The other day, a picture of Ivanka (Trump) Kushner seeing her daughter off to camp went viral. I am not sure why, but people seemed excited and surprised that Ivanka and Jared, Jews, Orthodox Jews, would send their child to an Orthodox Jewish camp. I did not post it, after considering it, as it seemed like a private rather than public moment. So, according to Kipa, Camp Morasha is a "Hassidic" summer camp.

Camp Morasha is somewhat affiliated with YU - Yeshiva University. Not exactly the bastion of Hassidic Judaism. More like the bastion of Modern Orthodox Judaism. On the Camp Morasha website, the camp is described as "The complete, traditional co-ed camping experience"   - not too many Hassidic camps out there are co-ed....

  1. Proves there's very little one can believe reading the news anywhere. To those who don't know, they think Orthodox Judaism is Chassidus and conservative are religious and the reform have something to do with being Jews and it's all the same. Wrong on all counts.

    1. Yes instead let's all get our worldly updates from The Yeshiva World news. They are very comprehensive with unbiased accuracy.

  2. That said, Morasha is on the frummer side of the co-ed camps.
