NCSY and Agudath Israel Partner in Camp for “Unaffiliated� Youth

The Orthodox Union wrote,

Midwest NCSY was approached by Agudath Israel Midwest and offered the opportunity to expand Camp Gesher to two three-week sessions. In addition, the Agudah-NCSY partnership will allow the camp to move to its own facility: a beautiful site in Marshall, IN near Indianapolis.

In this partnership, Agudath Israel has agreed to provide both the facility and funds for the camp, while NCSY will be given charge of staffing, developing programming and running the camp[…]“Rabbi Greenland is a true visionary and saw immediately the chance that existed for both organizations to create a tremendous opportunity while remaining loyal and true to the values, ideals and programming that has made NCSY the leading force in the Jewish outreach world,� declared Rabbi Michael Rovinsky, founder of Camp Gesher, and now Director of Camp Nageela Midwest.

“The idea that such outstanding, yet diverse, organizations have come together to inspire Jewish growth among primarily unaffiliated youth is a powerful message to the entire Jewish community that we are united in reconnecting as many Jewish youth as possible to their heritage,â€? concluded Rabbi Rovinsky.

The Agudah is haredi (ultra-Orthodox), and once again, NCSY is partnering with haredim in order to convert secular and liberal Jewish youth to ultra-Orthodoxy. Do you really think the Agudah is going to do all of this for NCSY without demanding any imprint or influence? And who knows what they are really getting in return for their generosity.

Please note in your files yet another example of NCSY working with their ultra-Orthodox partners for the purpose of proselyzation.

NCSY = Haredism
