Meet Your Child’s
TorahMate
At TheZone, your child is paired with a staff member who becomes their TorahMate, a Jewish learning partner and familiar friend to stay connected with throughout the year.
Through weekly learning by phone or another agreed-upon way, your child can ask questions, explore Jewish topics, and build on what they experienced at camp. It’s also a chance to catch up with someone who knows them and cares about how they’re doing.
