Mr. Jesse Rosen and the Mandel JCC of Boynton Beach,
Individually and collectively, we have relied on so many community organizations to help us fight through the COVID pandemic. People have been fed, cared for, protected and even saved by the selfless acts of others.
The Dalai Lama once said that “our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”
Right now, our children are hurting. Being kept at home with minimal socialization, they have longed for the day when friendly faces reappear. Some of those friendly faces have been enrolled in camps run by your fine organization. In other cases, it was determined that Brighthouse Day Camp was the most ideal fit. In the end, options are a a form of diversity.....to fit those with diverse needs.
You have the opportunity to be one of our community heroes, by putting aside any fiscal or personal grudges against another organization. In these unique times, please envision the face of a child and not that of an attorney. We all create our own legacy, and we are counting on the content of your character to shine through.
Your community is watching, and its children need your empathy. How will you respond? Such a decision will dictate our response, as well.
Sincerely,
Your Community.

I think kids should be first and I find it unethical for the JCC to block another organization access to a facility for kids camp. Where did our priorities and Jewish values take a turn for the worst.
With the recent school closing due tot he COVID 19 it has placed patents and children in a tough position. It has been more difficult with people going back to work and the children going longer without any group activities and routines. School and Camps are a vital part of children’s lives.
Shame on you! You have never had an issue with the Temple's camp, even sharing your pool with them, in reciprocity for your use of their parking lot. Why now is Brighthouse an issue? My guess is because your ridiculously overpriced program didn't get the support and enrollment you were hoping for. Again, shame on you!
Personal vendettas should not come at the cost of children missing camp nor employment of handfuls of staff members, my daughters included
Children shouldn’t have to suffer because financially their parents can’t afford $340 per week for camp and choose a more affordable option. There should be no monopoly over camp.
Please reconsider your position. Put aside your differences and let the kids enjoy camp.
Do the right thing for the families and their kids.

The Bruck Family is very disappointed that this situation was not solved in a fair and reasonable manner. As active members of the Palm Beach County Jewish community we are embarrassed by this situation
