The Covenant Foundation

congratulations Amy! How wonderful for you to inspire younger Jewish staff to become involved together. Ramah Nyack has been a new experience for my daughter Rebekah(Gan staff)and continues to create an excited wish to socialize with the Ramah staff! Best, Gayle Skovron, LCSW-R

Mazel Tov Amy! You do amazing work every day inspiring young people both campers and counselors each and every day/month/year. I have always and still always admired your enthusiasm, passion for Jewish education and living, and your contagious smile. Each and every summer I have been away from Nyack, I miss it more and more. No other summers did I enjoy so much then those at Nyack and for that I am eternally very grateful you hired me after an interview at Krispy Kreme at Penn Station. I will never forget that either. Thanks for inspiring me and so many others. You truly deserve this award and much more!

Since our daughter introduced us at Harvard Hillel you have been an exceptional teacher and leader. You have brought such inspriation and education to so many. Keep it up!

Mazel tov many times over, Eve. Someone used the word "ensoul" to describe what you do, and you certainly ensouled me in your years in Houston. To me you epitomize all a teacher can be. I will never forget all I learned from you. We miss you (and Avi!) very much.

Amy, To say that you deserve this award is an understatement. You & your amazing staff, under your leadership, have made Camp Ramah the happiest place on Earth. Camp Ramah Nyack's fun is perfectly balanced with education & structure. I love watching my children grow emotionally, socially, & educationally at camp. And when the school year begins, my children count down the days until its time for camp again. Thank you for the wonderful gift you give us year after year -- happy children who almost every day during the summer insist that "today was even better then yesterday." You are an amazing woman. Educators everywhere have a lot they could learn from you & from Camp Ramah Nyack. Many, many thanks and mazal tov!

Amy, Congratulations on this tremendous achievement! Thank you for all of your passion and devotion towards educating Jewish youth. You influence the lives of so many, my own included. Your impact on the future of our community is nearly insurmountable and we all know that you are far from finished. Thank you again and Mazal tov!

Amy, Mazal Tov on your well-deserved honor. Your commitment to our Jewish education and summer fun is inspiring. We are proud beneficiaries of your wonderful work. We can't wait for another great summer at Ramah Nyack! The DiPietra Family- Nicole, Lenny, Sarah, Yael and Ezra

Kol Hakavod to Rav Shai for a truly well-deserved honor. It is always a privilege to learn from you, and your contributions to Machshevet Yisrael is deeply appreciated.

Shai - Mazel tov! You deserve it. My learning, thinking, theology, and practice wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for building a compelling Judaism.

Your dogged perserverance in making ideals real deserves this award, as does your deep human sensitivity and exemplary bein adam lahaveiro. I'm proud to know you and learn from you. Steven (and Shira) :)

Mazal Tov! Rav Shai! Your talks in Theology as well as on Zionism have been a mainstay for me since I studied with you a year ago. They have opened a way of thinking that helps me connect to Judaism, and without which I'm not sure I could have forged my own way. Mazel Tov on your award!

Rav Shai, mazal tov on this incredible honor. It has been such a joy to learn with you and I am thrilled that everything you have accomplished and envisioned is being recognized in this way. May you continue to inspire generations of students with your commitment to the Talmud Torah and your endless embodiment of chessed.

Amy! Super Mazal Tov to you. You really deserve it. You are a Jewish leader and an inspiration. Your impact on Jewish education is wide reaching will be felt for generations. Yasher Koach and Chazak Ve'ematz. Continue to educate and Inspire. Avi Gilboa

Mazal Tov on this tremendous honor. Jonah's years at Ramah Nyack were wonderful on every level... it will always have a special place in our hearts. Your vision and exuberance made camp the most fun, secure and exciting place to be. Yasher Koach!

Amy, Thank you so much for all that you have done to help shape the Jewish identities of countless youth (including mine). I am grateful for all of the learning and growing that we have been able to do together and I am excited about all of the potential for the future. Again, Mazal Tov! Abbie

You have touched the hearts and souls of so many: I am proud to be your son and your employee. Mazel Tov

Amy, Mazel tov on this well-deserved honor!

Having sent 2 children to camps, I realize what a difficult job it is running it. To have to add additional education for a Jewish lifestyle is indeed a great accomplishment. Congratulations on your achievements.

Our hearty congratulations to you, Eve, on this singular honor. The JCCSF is always buzzing with news, educational opportunities and events now!. Mazel Tov from the Silver family!

Mazal tov to my teacher, friend and colleague, R. Shai Held, for winning this incredible award. Between this and finishing your PhD, you have had quite a year! Looking forward to more. Elie

Mazal Tov to all and what a great accomplishment and service to the Jewish people!

How wonderful to get the recognition that you so deserve Amy. Many ask what we are all going to do when we grow up while working at informal education. Kol Hakavod to the Covenant Foundation for acknowledging the serious impact that you and the others have had on our Jewish continuity. Enjoy this honor and embrace it with pride!

Mazal Tov Amy! What a wonderful honor - certainly well-deserved! Kol HaKavod.

Mazal tov and kol ha-kavod Amym on receiving the 2011Covennat Award. My past two years at Nyack have given me great hope for the future. Your efforts have born fruits and now the Covenant Foundation has recognized what we at Nyack have known, as an educator and person you are well deserving of this honor.

Congratulations, Eve, for this much deserved recognition. You are still the best Melton teacher I ever had (well, maybe Avi too)and the very best Israel tour guide. We still miss you very much in Houston. Cynthia

Amy-- What a wonderful achievement recognizing so many years of imagination and love. Yishar kochech! Bob & Susie Scherr

Congratulations, Amy! As the parent of a Ramah-Nyack camper, I was blown away by the ruach at Ramah when I came to the Zimriyah & Festivale. As a staff member, I'm still blown away. And after you spoke at Mifgash this spring, our consensus was we wished we could take a class with you! Thank you for your impressive & inspiring leadership.

Mazel Tov on your award! What an awesome accomplishment ... kol hakavod from Ramah Palmer alumn!

Congratulations Rav Shai and Amy for building outstanding Jewish communities that I, and so many others have been blessed to be a part of.

Mazal Tov to all 3 award recipients (with special mention for the two I know personally). I remember "Shai" as a counselor at Ramah Nyack back when I was a young camper there. He wasn't even my counselor (and wasn't yet a Rabbi) but I think that speaks to the impact he was having even back then. Nice to hear that you've been doing good things since then "Rabbi Shai"...Mazal Tov! And then there is Amy Skopp Cooper. I was a counselor at Ramah Nyack before Amy became Director there and a counselor/sgan-rosh edah when she first started that job. I had the good fortune to witness first-hand as she took a great camp and worked hard to make it even better. We both know it wasn't always easy but from everything i've seen and heard since then, you managed to make that great camp even greater. Nice to see that your colleagues, and the Covenant Foundation have recognized your efforts. Kol Hakavod and Mazal Tov!

Dear Amy, We are so impressed by all that you are doing and are so happy to see you being recognized for the special Jewish leader that you are. Although it was many lifetimes ago since we were apartment-mates, I still remember our wonderful times together. Mega Mazal tov to you,Mark and your whole family for this prestigious award. Janis, Jonathan, Ari and Noah Lightman

Amy, kol hakavod and mazal tov on this honor! Thank you for all that you have done for me and for so many other people, campers and staff included. ~Jess

A well- deserved honor to someone who would probably prefer to remain behind the scenes. Bravo!

Mazel tov, Amy! We are thrilled that your remarkable efforts have been recognized. You are an inspiration to thousands of children who have experienced the incredible energy & spirit you bring to their summers in camp. Our family treasures memories of Julia's years at Ramah Nyack Camp; we feel it is truly a blessing to know you. Mazel tov on this much deserved award! With warmest wishes, always, Chava, Randall & Julia Rose

Yasher Koach, Batsheva Greenstein and Family

Well deserved! May you continue to be blessed and share your blessings.

How deserving! I remember you back in the Poconos, and your exceptional educational skills and warmth. Mazal tov!

So proud of Amy's work and the overall work of Ramah and so pleased of this well-deserved recognition.

Who'd a thunk back in the days in Palmer when we were rashei edot together that one day you would be winning this prestigious award. It is nice to know that the Jewish world from time to time will notice a job well done.

Mazal Tov to Shai Held, and Mechon Hadar, for a well deserved honor. Rarely a talk or a speech deepens my knowledge and broadens my hearts as listening to Rabbi Shai Held.

Mazal tov to all the 2011 recipients and especially to Amy Skopp Cooper. As her long-ago teacher and adviser at Brandeis, I am so pleased that Amy's commitments and talents are being widely recognized in the community. This is a well-deserved honor for a terrific educator, colleague and "mensch."

Amy - Mazel Tov! It's an honor well-deserved for a wonderful person and outstanding educator! -Daniel

Congratulations to Amy Skopp Cooper. I knew Amy back as a counselor at Camp Ramah New England in the early 1980s. I knew she was destined for great things, glad to hear about her recognition.

Congratulations, Amy! You were my Rosh Eidah at Ramah in New England over twenty-five years ago when we were the staff of the best eidah at camp. I still have the pocket siddur you gave to all you staff as a thank you gift, althogh I can no longer read it without glasses. All the best to you!

Mazel Tov to Amy Skopp Cooper on receiving one of the 2011 Covenant Awards. As a member of the National Ramah Commission (from Ramah CA) I am consistently inspired by Amy's fine work at Ramah Nyack and on the National Ramah Commission. We look forward to Amy continuing to touch the lives of Ramahnicks across the country for many years to come.

Both of my sons, Aron and Jonah Wander, spent several years at Ramah Nyack and I was privileged to see firsthand your indomitable spirit and enthusiasm and how positively the kids -- and the parents -- responded to it. Ramah is so lucky to have you!

Amy, you are so deserving of this award. Mazel Tov and thank you for all you do :)

Mazel Tov to all three outstanding educators and thank you for devoting your special talents and knowledge to the service of the Jewish community. Special congratulations to my sister (and summer boss) Amy Skopp Cooper for this well-deserved honor and for bringing energy and creativity to her role as director of Ramah Nyack Day Camp.

Amy, this does not surprise me one bit that you received this award. During my 3 years working at the National Ramah office as a student at JTS, you were always there for me to provide support, advice, or a good hug. Mazel Tov and much love.

Mazal tov to all the awardees, and especially to Amy, who was my student at Solomon Schechter Day School when she was in 9th grade. Even then, she was a leader in creating major, memorable programs for the whole school, with total competence, creativity and that great disposition! It is a pleasure to work with Amy as a colleague, whose expertise and guidance are valuable in all our work. Fondly, Debby Miller

Amy Skopp-Cooper, the entire Nurse Cooper family we wish you a Kol HaKavod. May you go from strength to strength! My children are who they are today because of your leadership, for that I will be eternally grateful.

Mazal tov to Amy Skopp Cooper - a most well deserved recognition of her work.

Amhy Skopp was a wonderful Rosh Eidah to work for at Ramah in Palmer many years ago. I am sure her energy and enthusiasm has continued and am glad to know she had remained dedicated to camping and Jewish education.

From those first days at Hornstein, it was clear to all of us that you were going to be one to really "make it" in the field of Jewish Education. You have honestly exceeded all expectations. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who are trying to do something to ensure a vibrant Jewish future for our children. You are truly a role model --your energy, passion, wisdom, and sensitivity are incomparable. We are so proud of you and love you so much! Can't wait to cheer you on in Denver!

Amy, what an honor and I know first hand that you deserve this. Continue to serve the Ramah and greater Jewish Community in good health. You make a difference and are such a positive roll model in so many lives. Many hugs, Terry

Amy, Mazal tov on this amazing honor. You deserve recognition for your incredible work in Jewish education. Thank you for all you do!

Amy - A hearty kol ha'kavod for a very well-deserved honor. Even during my one summer at Nyack, I was inspired by your enthusiasm, you ability to make every moment a Jewish one, and your commmitment to making the Jewish tradition meaningful and fun for children. Thank you for all you do and mazal tov on this distinguished honor.

Mazel Tov to you! You so deserve it. I met you when you were a camper at Palmer and then my kids when to Nyack years later and you were there and had (and continue to have) so much ruach! It was like coming home again when they went there. Thank you for all that you do!

What great news to see that the trail blazing work of three amazing educators is getting the attention and support that it (and they) deserve! Eve, Amy and Shai--mazal tov! Allen Selis

Yasher Koach, Amy, on this much-deserved honor! Kudos as always for transforming campers and staff every summer as we all move forward on our Jewish journeys. Missing camp…

Mazal Tov to all the award winners. A special Mazal Tov to Amy Skopp Cooper who has taught us so much about working towards "getting it right"- always reflecting and always tweaking. You protect, you empower, you include, you teach, and you still continue to learn. As you know, back home in our own school and shul we often ask "how would Amy Skopp Cooper handle this??" You model for us true leadership. It's an honor to work for you and with you. An honor well deserved. Much love, Atara Gorsetman and the whole Spira family

Mazal Tov Amy! You deserve this! May God continue to bless you and give you strength to continue to do all the blessed things you do!

Kol Hakavod to three incredible Jewish educators! Knowing Amy Skopp Cooper for over thirty years, I have seen first-hand her incredible devotion to the Jewish people. The Ramah world — and indeed the whole Jewish world — is so very lucky to have her!

We are thrilled to see our daughter share this award with two other outstanding Jewish educators. Now, more than ever before in the history of our people, we need the remarkable commitment of those willing and able to rejuvenate Jewish education. Nothing less than the survival of our people is contingent upon their successes. Amy has always been a leader within our family unit. She is an amazing and wonderful daughter and a dedicated, loving and brilliant mother and wife. Recognition by her peers and the Covenant Foundation is the "icing on the cake." May she long continue her mission and may the Jewish world be stronger as a result of her efforts. We are, as always, very very proud!

We are so proud of this inspired and inspiring group of educators! They are indeed leaders, nurturers, and fabulous teachers.
