EXODUS 10:12 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.' 13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
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.
