Join Brooklyn Jews and CBE for the wild, slightly unhinged book launch of The Jews of Summer: Summer Camp and Jewish Culture in Postwar America by Sandra Fox, a scholarly yet entertaining read on the history of American Jewish summer camps. Rather than a traditional book talk, this experiential event will touch on many elements of Jewish summer camp life from the 1950s through the present, from arts and crafts and gaga to Hebrew and Yiddish circles, Jewish dancing and singing, Maccabiah—even Tisha B’Av. Prepare to have fun while thinking about Jewish camping past and present in new ways. The canteen will have light snacks and alcoholic drinks inspired by camp, included with admission. Please dress in summer camp clothes, be they the fashions of your youth or of your favorite post-WWII decade.

Admission is $8 per person, or you can receive your ticket for free when you purchase a copy of the book through the form, courtesy of the Community Bookstore.

This event is for adults age 21+.
