Not only did they perform in a free community-wide concert on the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 7, but also entertained and educated groups of seniors at Temple Am David in Warwick and the JCC Social Hall, our community’s two kosher nutrition meal sites and played games with JCC J-Camp and Camp JORI campers during two days of whirlwind activities.  the Caravan teens stayed overnight at Camp JORI.

As The Jewish Voice reported earlier, Caravan is a summer delegation of 10 teens and two chaperones from Israel traveling across the United States and Canada. This group of dancers and singers follows in the footsteps of other Caravan groups who have been performing for audiences for more than 40 years.
