Some Great Reasons for Your Child to Spend this Summer with RSY-Netzer!
Wednesday, 25 January 2012
Every summer, RSY-Netzer, the youth movement of the Movement for Reform Judaism runs Shemesh summer camps and Israel Tour. These events form part of a bigger journey. Our young people will have fun, make friends, and do exciting activities, but also learn about what it means to be Jewish and figure out their own way of being Jewish.
Shemesh is a two week residential summer camp that RSY-Netzer runs every year. There are four camps for different ages spanning ages 10–15 all held in the UK. Shemesh is all about creating our own Jewish community, having fun and learning together whilst making friends and helping each other become more interested in, and proud of, being Jewish!
Our Summer Camps
Briyah: Years 5, 6 and 7
Emunah: Year 8
Reut: Year 9
Atid: Year 10
Three Reasons to Send your Child on Shemesh
1. They will make loads of friends! We are very proud of the atmosphere we create on Shemesh, an atmosphere which brings everyone together in a loving and respectful community. The friendships that are made during these two weeks can last a lifetime. Never before has your child had the chance to have so much fun with so many like-minded young Jewish people.
2. It’s not just the friendships that last a lifetime but the Reform Jewish values that we introduce to your children, the values that are central to RSY-Netzer. Nowhere else can your child learn about Israel, tikkun olam (repairing the world) and Reform Judaism in a way that's positive and engaging. Every year hundreds of children leave Shemesh that little bit more passionate about being Jewish and being socially conscious.
3. Shemesh improves confidence and independence. Year after year we find that the experience of being away from home in their own peer community helps your child to understand and grow into themselves. Being away from you for two weeks allows them to develop their independence and self-belief. The challenge of meeting so many new people in such a positive environment ensures that they will learn to love exactly who they are.
Spaces are limited and are filling up. Please don't let your child miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime. Contact RSY-Netzer today to book your place. Call 020 8349 5666, email

Imagine what it would be like for a young person to spend almost a month in Israel with 35 new best friends; sharing ideas whilst exploring the exciting cities of Jerusalem, Haifa and Tel Aviv, to name a few. Getting the opportunity to hike in the desert and swim in natural springs and waterfalls. Sleeping under the stars and snorkeling in Eilat. Seeing the sunrise over Masada and visiting exciting kibbutzim. Add some Reform Jewish education and the RSY- Netzer community they know and love.
And that’s just the beginning! But this year year, RSY-Netzer have had an overwhelming response and Israel Tour is very nearly fully booked.
