Jewish Girls Retreat

Where she nourished girls with love

The Jewish Girls Retreat is her family’s camp in upstate New York — a summer where girls come to shine their inner light. Raizel was part of its soul: the warmth that welcomed every girl and made her feel she belonged. She gave that place her whole heart.

This summer, the camp gathers in her name.

Raizel’s kitchen at dawnFresh braided challah on a board, a copper pot still steaming, jars on a shelf, morning light through an arched window.

Nourish with love

It is the camp’s own blessing — and Raizel lived it. In her kitchen she nourished body and soul alike, and no one who came to her left empty. Now her family’s camp carries it forward in her name.

Shine your inner light

The words the girls live by at camp. There, a butterfly is given for a good deed — so every butterfly here is one of those: a kindness done in Raizel’s memory.
