Share Your Darom Story

Every person who has been part of Ramah Darom has a story.

It could be a friendship that has lasted for years. A favorite camp memory. An incredible retreat experience. A moment that strengthened your Jewish identity. Or simply a photo that brings you right back to a special time and place.

This fall, we're collecting stories, memories, photos, and short videos from across the Ramah Darom community. We'd love to hear from campers, alumni, parents, staff, retreat participants, volunteers, donors, and friends of Ramah Darom.

There is no perfect story and no professional camera required. We're simply looking for genuine moments and reflections that help tell the story of this community.

Choose one of the prompts below and share your response in a short video, written reflection, or photo submission.
