ABSTRACT Given the centrality of Shabbat celebration to the weekly cycle of Jewish residential camps, it is surprising how little Shabbat-at-camp has been studied. This participant observational study of three American Jewish residential camps has focused on how Shabbat-at-camp is created and how the ritual celebrations engage the older campers. This study found that when these camps encourage ritual innovation and invite their oldest campers to take leadership in ritual practice, the teens respond with great energy and dedication. Drawing a detailed portrait of these invented rituals, I argue that behind the carnival atmosphere lies a serious invitation to four distinct Jewish learning opportunities and a path to becoming leaders in their camp world.

三个犹太营地的安息日营：犹太教通过仪式参与学习

摘要 鉴于安息日庆祝活动在每周一次的犹太居住营地活动中居于中心地位，令人惊讶的是安息日在营地的研究很少。这项对三个美国犹太居住营地的参与者观察研究重点关注安息日营是如何创建的，以及仪式庆祝活动如何吸引年长的露营者。这项研究发现，当这些营地鼓励仪式创新并邀请年龄最大的营员在仪式实践中发挥领导作用时，青少年会以极大的精力和奉献精神做出回应。我详细描绘了这些虚构的仪式，我认为狂欢节气氛的背后是对四种不同的犹太人学习机会的严肃邀请，以及成为他们营地世界领导者的途径。
