	Sephardic Renaissance Prepares for Summer of Fun 2006

	One hundred years after Syrian Jews began arriving on U.S. shores, the community in many respects still resembles its close-knit forebears from Damascus and Aleppo.

USA - Sephardic Renaissance day camp offers Sephardic children an exciting Torah-oriented environment over their summer vacation. Sephardic Renaissance is a kiruv (outreach) organization dedicated to introducing Torah to children of all ages, many whom were never given a yeshiva education. Because we work with Sephardic youth from every background, fees are minimal, and, in some cases, subsidized for campers. A separate program for girls and boys emphasizes the critical importance of tzniut (modesty) and good middot as they grow into adulthood. (more)

ISRAEL - Sephardic Renaissance maintains a yeshiva in Beitar Illit named Vayashkem Avraham that has more than 40 rabbinical students enrolled. They serve the community by giving both spiritual and phyisical encouragement to youngsters and adults.

For near near a quarter of a century Sephardic Renaissance has provided the Jewish community with diverse projects oriented towards Sephardic programs of the highest caliber.
