"It has democratically elected representatives and nightly debates far more
orderly than those in Israel's
parliament. There's no heckling, no talking out of turn and a set of agreed
gestures borrowed from sign language to signal speakers when people agree,
disagree or have had enough of a particular topic. If people need a break
from lofty debate, they can visit the library, a long table piled with
newspapers and books. In the play area, children can have fun
with
Mr. Potato Head
toys or puzzles or snooze on the mat. For nighttime intellectual
stimulation, the camp features guest lectures (Tuesday's topic was "socialism
and liberalism") and free stage performances by local theater troupes and
musicians."
