Seth Green Goes Back to Jewish Summer Camp – Kveller

1 week ago | kveller.com | Lior Zaltzman

If it weren’t for Jewish summer camp, the world may never have gotten the gift of Seth Green. OK, so maybe that’s hyperbole. Anyone who has watched the Jewish actor in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Austin Powers” knows he just has it, the Borscht Belt entertainer style je ne sais quoi that draws an audience in. He’s magentic and charming, even when he plays the most unlikable character.

The former Jewish resort area in the Catskills, where some Orthodox Jews still have vacation cabins and resorts, was made iconic by movies like “Dirty Dancing” and shows like “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and it looms large in my mind. I want to go somewhere with a pool and a bunch of old and young Jews joking and dancing and playing tennis or mahj.

Judenraete. It’s a controversial term for those who know the story of the Holocaust. The word refers to Jewish councils of local leaders appointed at the request of the Nazis to liaison between the local Jews and the Nazi occupying forces, often at the detriment of their fellow Jews.

It’s been 613 days since October 7. 613 days that the 56 hostages still in Gaza, alive and deceased, have been held in the dark, apart from their loved ones. It’s an incomprehensible number. And yet, in Judaism, it is also an auspicious number: 613 is the number of commandments, mitzvot, in the Torah.
