This vintage lithographic postcard features Massad Beth, a Jewish camp located in the Pocono Mountains near Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania. The camp was a Zionist Jewish summer camp. The camp was about camping, but also about learning the Hebrew language and Jewish culture. The camp was founded as a day camp in 1941 and grew into three sleep away camps in Pennsylvania. At it’s peak, the camp had over a thousand campers and staff each summer. The camp closed in 1981. The camps alumni include Noam Chomsky (linguist), Alan Dershowitz (attorney), and Ralph Lauren (fashion designer and executive). This card was published by Planned Color Advertising. The firm was located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. SOLD
