Shoresh builds positive Jewish identity among children and their families, primarily in Frederick and in surrounding communities, regardless of prior Jewish knowledge, affiliation or observance, through a variety of educational, recreational and experiential opportunities. Utilizing its campus and facilities in Adamstown, and fostering close personal relationships among participants and staff, Shoresh emphasizes appreciation of our Jewish roots and love for Israel and the Jewish people.
Shoresh (Hebrew for “roots”) took root in 1979 with the intent of educating the widely unaffiliated Jews of Frederick, MD about their rich Jewish heritage. From its unassuming beginning as a three-week summer program founded by Rabbi Moshe and Mrs. Carol Kosman with 19 campers, Camp Shoresh has grown to over 450 campers each summer. Driven by the success of the summer camp, the Shoresh organization has since extended its programs to include year-round events for children and families, and created branches to educate teens and adults throughout the Maryland and Virginia area. As we like to say, “From Baby to Bubby!”; anyone is welcome within the Shoresh family, no matter their age, stage, or current religious observance.
