The camp environment fostered natural and comfortable friendships across genders. This allowed us to become friends first, then, many years later, lovers, all within the context of Jewish values, living as respectful and moral people. Our relationship is built on this foundation and has sustained us for over 30 years of marriage. Not only as best friends to each other, we have retained our camp friends and other Ramahniks as the people we feel most connected to in our lives.
