Thanks from JAM Parents

Dear Pamela,

Our sincerest Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to you and to everyone associated with the Summer JAM program! Ben had an extraordinary experience in every way, this was without question the most well run, well thought out and most valuable program of any kind that any of our three kids (Ben is the youngest) have participated in. Your professionalism and that of your colleagues has shined through in every aspect of the planning and execution of Summer Jam. It's amazing for us to see the personal growth that's taken place in only 4 short weeks, Ben seems to have been touched by every experience, place, conversation and person he was exposed to. You, Shmuly, Rabbi Sid and each and every one of the mentors, speakers, and other people he met have had a profound impact on him. Ben has always had a heart and soul of gold, but now his vision much more clear as he understands that everyday brings real opportunities to intertwine his Jewish identity and commitment to improving the lives of others.

Please forward this email and pass our sincere thanks and congratulations on to everyone associated with Summer JAM, we are truly grateful for your efforts and will always appreciate the difference you have made in Ben's life.

This Labor Day weekend we'll be celebrating again at the Pearlstone Center when another of Ben's cousins gets married in Baltimore, what a terrific facility that is! He will certainly join you there October 24th - 26th or any other weekend that turns out to be best for the group.We hope you are enjoying some well deserved R&R and look forward to Ben's continued involvement with his new friends at Panim.
With warmest regards,
Eileen and Bob
