What is Machzor Gimmel? Why now?
Machzor Gimmel (“Third Session”) is a Ramah alumni weekend, taking place at camp on November 6-8, 2026.

At a time when so many of us are craving community and connection, for ourselves, our partners, and our children, Camp Ramah is creating a space for just that: respite, pure fun, and meaningful Jewish engagement.

Machzor Gimmel is an opportunity to create and recreate camp community, reliving joyous moments of the past while creating new ones as adults, and using this special time together as a personal breath of fresh air. This Shabbaton is intended to be relaxing, meaningful through spirited tfillot (prayer services) and Jewish learning opportunities, and of course, fun. Above all, Machzor Gimmel is a chance for each of us to reflect, reset, and rejuvenate. 

Who can I contact with questions?
Please reach out to Mike Dolinka, Chief Development Officer (mike@ramah.org)

Who is eligible to participate?
Machzor Gimmel is open to alumni ages 22–40 who participated in Ramah as a chanich (camper), madrich (counselor), or member of the tzevet (staff) in any capacity. Alumni are welcome to bring their partners and families, including children ages 10 and under.

Can I bring my kid(s)?
Machzor Gimmel will be a family-friendly environment and your children ages 10 and under are welcome to join. We aspire in future years to offer programming for a wider range of ages. Children under 3 are free. Please reach out to development@ramah.org with any questions.
