EXODUS 9:22 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.' 23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven; and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and the LORD caused to hail upon the land of Egypt. 24 So there was hail, and fire flashing up amidst the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation. 25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field. 26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Quick version for the uninitiated: Camp Kinderland is a progressive, secular Jewish summer camp located in Western Massachusetts. A key component of the camp's program is music, covering almost 200 years of musical genres: folk, traditional Yiddishkeit, civil rights era, labor movement, and the occasional Beatles tune. Sounds corny, but it's pretty amazing when done right. This blog is an attempt to capture some of Kinderland's musical tradition, mostly for the enjoyment of those who have participated in it before. But if that happens to not include you, please feel free to browse around, and definitely ask questions.
Despite all appearances to the contrary, this blog is not affiliated with Camp Kinderland.
