Back to the reunion page. Approximately 200 adults and 100 children came to Habonim Camp Tavor in Three Rivers, Michigan in June. Miriam Derman, the main organizer, wrote afterwards that "we all had a fantastic time reliving memories and seeing old friends. It turns out that Tavor is exactly as we remember it, a magical combination of an idyllic setting and wonderful opportunity for human interaction. We raised a bunch of money for badly needed repairs and additions such as a dishwasher, dishes and new mattresses. We accomplished more than just fundraising. We rekindled an interest in each other, in our connections to Tavor and our children got a chance to experience the camp that they are attending or may attend in the future." Leonard Fein, the noted writer and former rosh machaneh Tavor, delivered a thought provoking talk on Shabbat afternoon. Informal discussions on the progressive Zionist agenda for the 90s continued late into the night (along with the kumzitz, dancing, basketball and non-stop shmoozing).
Miriam adds that several participants have begun organizing a Tavor alumni committee. If you would like more information, you can contact Miriam at 708-674-3312 or email: dderman@aol.com
