*TAG: Jewish Values through JCC Camping® is a curricular initiative designed to enrich the Jewish component of the JCC camping experience.

TAG develops discrete Jewish content and programming units for day and resident camps, finding ways to integrate Jewish life, experience and values into the fabric of camp. Each initiative has drama, discussion, games, art and music components.

TAG is…
• An acronym for Torah (learning and living), Avodah (service and spirituality), and Gemilut Chasadim (acts of loving kindness). According to the saying of our sages in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Sages), these are the three principles upon which the world stands.
• A child’s game in which a special quality of being “it” is passed on by touching another person.
• Tagim (plural) are the ornate crowns on letters found in the Torah scroll that adorn and add beauty to the words of the Torah, give them special emphasis and hidden meaning, and make them look different from any other text we read.
