Bonimot Tzedek Happenings
by Naomi Goldman-Nagel
|

Tzedek this year is setting out to be our best year yet!
We are phone banking weekly to help people in Michigan get connected with voter registration and mail-in ballot resources, and we have amazing monthly peulot scheduled from now until January!

Our September virtual peula focused on illegal housing evictions and foreclosures in Detroit, in collaboration with our movement-partner Detroit Jews for Justice (DJJ).
Our October peula will look at different outcomes for the Nov. 3 election, and help us see that regardless of the results: November 3rd is not a finish line, it’s a touchstone in the longer arc of our justice work.
We also have some amazing guest speakers lined up for our peula in December about the history of Jewish labor organizing!! We’re so excited to continue learning and taking action with our Camp Tavor community!!!
Make sure to take note of all upcoming Tzedek dates as listed below as well as the Farrmer’s Market Canvas for Fair Tax and Text Bank on Monday., Oct. 12 at 2 PM EST (farmer’s markets (10/10-10/12) around the city if you’re in Chicago reach out to Naomi and we can coordinate!)
In solidarity,

I am super excited to be a part of Bonimot Tzedek this year!
I find that it is very important to learn about issues happening in your area, and that we are learning about ways we can help as teens.
So far, we've had a peula about homelessness in Detroit and we discussed ways that we can get involved, such as emailing the Mayor of Detroit.
I like doing the phone banks, where we call people and assist them in the voting process.
I am happy to help with the voting process for the upcoming election in ways that I can.

I'm really excited about Bonimot Tzedek this year.
The past months have shown that there's a lot that needs to be done with regards to Justice in the US, from voter suppression to climate change to racial justice, and I think it's really important that Tavorniks try to make a meaningful change in the world.

Connect with Tavor Tzevet!
by Zach Harris, Tavor Madrich (and homework buddy)
|
We all know that one of the best parts of summer at Tavor is the amazing sense of community.
That's why I and so many others often find the intervening months so difficult. Simply put, we miss our camp friends and the wonderful togetherness we experience at machaneh.
The loneliness of lockdown and a summer away from Three Rivers (and amazing Techno Tavor virtual programming!) have only proven to us how important camp connections truly are.
That's why we're so excited to announce our newest program: “Tavor Homework Buddies!”
Built through classic Habo collaboration (idea credits: Machaneh Gilboa) and equally classic Habo zoom prowess! We have gathered helpers experienced with English, Math, Hebrew, Bar Mitzvah prep, Composting! You need it, we probably have it!

Don't forget to check out RETRO CAMP TEES!
Have a favorite Tavor Tee that's faded away?
Created by Tavorniks Dick Halperin, Steve Brownstone,
Marc Morgan and Darrin Kohavi there are already dozens of shirts, from many summers available for purchase!
If you have designs you want re-created, or know of a design that is not available please visit their CONTACT US page.
|
|
RCT works with camps to re-create their old camp shirts so alumni and even current campers can enjoy the cool designs of old while continuing the traditions of their amazing camp experiences.
And a percentage of all proceeds will be donated to Camp Tavor!
Why? Because they want Tavor and all summer camps to live on for generations to come.
|
|
Please note that, due to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we've decided to postpone the upcoming reunion from June 2021 to June 2022, exact dates TBD. |
|
We'll keep you posted and please let us know if you'd like to be involved as a "Kvutzah Captain" and help to connect with your kvutzah-mates ahead of the 2022 reunion.
