Dear Friend of Camp Tavor,

My name is Hannah Chonkan-Urow and I’ve been a part of our Camp Tavor community since 2008, most recently as a member of Tavor Tzevet (staff) 2018.

This past summer, our tzevet donated a portion of our tzevet kupah (collective, voluntary deductions from our paychecks that we contribute to a communal fund to be used on our time off) to the Tavor and Workshop scholarship funds.

From our days in Amelimot through our time on tzevet, kupah continues to be a symbol of taking responsibility for our Tavor community, and our greater world.

As alumni and tzevet, we understand the phenomenal joy and sense of responsibility for tikkun olam that’s created at camp. We support the Tavor scholarship fund because we are committed to sharing that joy and responsibility with this next generation of Jewish youth.

I am proud to have championed the decision to donate a portion of our kupah to Tavor’s scholarship fund because I understand the power of a scholarship gift. A gift from the Tavor scholarship fund helped make it possible for me to build on my transformational years as a Tavor chanicha (camper) and participate in the Habonim Dror North America Workshop program.

My Camp Tavor and Workshop experiences have been fundamental in forming my Jewish identity and pushed me to work towards justice and peace in our increasingly complicated world.

The Tavor community is the most engaging, loving, and inspiring community I have ever known, and I want to ensure that the Tavor experience is accessible to as many young people as possible.

Please join me and Tzevet Tavor 2018 in our effort to grow and inspire a whole new generation of Jewish youth by making a gift to Camp Tavor.
