Today we say L’hitrot to someone who quickly became a special part of our community. Jake Niefeld joined our team on November 15, 2024 as our Operations & Logistics Coordinator. From day one, he brought warmth, curiosity, creativity, and a deep sense of purpose to his work. Whether he was solving a logistical puzzle or sharing music, Jake had a way of bringing people together and making moments more meaningful. Jake is many things: a musician, songwriter, lifelong learner, and a passionate Jewish soul. Anyone who spent even a little time with him could see how deeply his Judaism informs the way he moves through the world. His ability to connect people and create moments of reflection made a lasting impact on those around him. We are incredibly proud to share that Jake has been accepted to the Rabbinical School at Hebrew Union College, where he will begin his studies this summer on the journey to becoming Rabbi Jake. Jake, thank you for the care, joy, music, and heart you brought to this community. We will miss you and can’t wait to see the incredible rabbi you will become. Kol hakavod and b’hatzlacha on this next chapter! ❤️

We’re bursting with pride for CMC alumna Kelsey O’Driscoll! After a devastating spinal injury, Kelsey refused to give up on her dream and has qualified for the 2026 U.S. Paralympic Alpine Team. Kelsey credits her time at CMC for shaping her resilience - you can take the girl out of camp, but you can’t take the camp out of the girl! Tune in to watch Kelsey compete in downhill, super-G, combined, giant slalom, and slalom events March 7-14. The whole CMC family is cheering you on, Kelsey!

The story of Purim teaches us that heroes rise in moments of need. Esther stepped forward with courage and chose action over fear and her bravery changed everything. For many children, masks aren’t just for Purim. -Sometimes they hide their worries. -Sometimes they hide their questions -Sometimes they hide parts of themselves just to fit in. And when they come to Camp Mountain Chai…something changes. Children don’t need to hide who they are, they become who they are. Just as Purim reminds us that one voice can change a story, one gift can change a child’s summer and their future. Make your gift today! https://conta.cc/3ZZY9jj
