Camp Young Judaea Midwest

08/19/2026

Big CYJ Midwest shout out to our friend and Alumni Ofer Sivan and his company Oasis Street Food Hummus for donating Hummus to Camp this summer! Was much enjoyed during one of our Thursday Israeli-themed meals (not sure how the banana suit worked with the theme).

We will definitely have to buy some while in Chicago for one of or upcoming events. Found in many if the Jewish foods stores around Chicagoland!
