During song sessions, I like to look around the room and notice that everyone is involved.

What Jacobs Camp Means to Me
In the beginning of June last year, I came to Jacobs camp for the first time. I was scared out of my mind to come to the middle of nowhere Mississippi for two months where I didn’t know anyone and didn’t know what my job would really be like.

Shabbat Letter from Anna (June 23, 2017)

Time is truly flying by, but the Jacobs Magic is still flowing! I can see friendships forming and memories being made.
