Each summer, tens of thousands of American Jews attend residential camps, where they see Hebrew signs, sing Hebrew songs, and hear a camp-specific hybrid language. Using historical and sociolinguistic methods, this book explains how camp directors came to infuse Hebrew in creative ways and how their rationales and practices have evolved over time.
