Double your impact to amplify Jewish women’s stories—
All gifts matched up to $35,000
Before you close this article, please consider supporting the Jewish Women’s Archive and uplifting Jewish women’s voices.
At JWA, we preserve the voices of Jewish women and gender-expansive people past and present, share them freely with millions online, and empower a new generation of Jewish feminists to lead with courage, creativity, and conviction.
But none of this happens without you. JWA is an independent nonprofit— we rely on people, like you, who believe that history belongs to all of us and that the voices of Jewish women must remain powerful, and heard.
This month, a generous JWA board member will match every gift dollar for dollar—up to $35,000—through June 30. Your contribution goes twice as far right now.
Every contribution—no matter the size—helps us document, teach, and inspire through Jewish women’s stories.
It takes less than a minute to make a difference.
Thank you for being a part of the JWA community,
Judith Rosenbaum, CEO

Hi Nora,
You will have to check with the publisher or author as to the origin of the cover picture. You can find the book on the publisher's website here: https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=35390 and the author's website here: https://sandrafox.net/book
Your review is thoughtful and interesting. Intriguing. I am interested in reading "The Jews of Summer". Often I reflect on my own experiences as a camper at three rural southeastern Pennsylvania JYC camps (located near Philadelphia). Those over night camp experiences shaped my Jewish identity in many positive ways. Even today, I draw on those experiences, as I talk about the value of Jewish culture and tradition with my teenage daughter and son. I care deeply about the importance of helping them express their Judaism in ways that give their lives greater meaning. Thank you.
