Peter Joseph is chairman of the Israel Policy Forum, an American organization that serves as the centrist voice promoting a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict and strengthening Israel’s security. After a 2009 merger with the Center for American Program in Washington, D.C., didn’t work out, the IPF is now being revived as an organization. Prominent supporters include Reform leader Rabbi Eric Yoffie, Rep. Gary Ackerman, Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt and philanthropist Charles Bronfman.

Once upon a time, you had to wait until summer to re-connect with your camp buddies. Now e-mail, Facebook and Skype make year-round contact quick and easy. And soon, with Ramah 365, a new app being developed by the international network of Conservative movement summer camps, die-hard camp enthusiasts will be able to interact all year from their mobile devices.

The app — funded with a $59,000 grant from the Covenant Foundation — is the brainchild of two Ramah employees: Rabbi Amiel Hersh, 30, and Dana Levinson, 24.
