I spent most of yesterday at the HUGE and happenin’ Peninsula JCC in Foster City, California, where I helped the JCC’s day camp wind down for the summer by winding kids up for their season-ending carnival. In the afternoon I sang Scattered Among the Nations with kids in their camp groups, which you see in the pictures above and below. When the camp day ended I led an international Likrat Shabbat service, introducing kids to prayer melodies from far-flung places like Bukhara, Turkey, India, the Iberian Peninsula and the Caribbean. After the service the camp counselors, giddy from a successful summer, upstaged me and all the chipper campers by singing the heck out of a set of All Around This World songs.
