We will appreciate if you forward information about out program

After three
successful years, we are proud to report that our students
achieve advanced placement in their regular schools, win math
competitions, and continue to improve their SAT, ACT, AMC tests
scores, proportional to their commitment to our program.
We maintain very close relationships with RSM in Boston, MA. We
learn from the best and strive to continue the great traditions

July 2007
RSM.Louisville helped welcome 20 kids from
war-stricken Sderot, Israel to the US this summer, so that they
may have a normal childhood for five weeks...Nine of these
children attended RSM camp in New Hampshire and the rest
attended a boys' camp in Boston. Those kids that went to RSM
Camp presented an original play, Children of Sderot, written and
produced by Masha Rifkin at two locations in Boston and in
Brooklyn, NY. While they were at camp, over 40 qassams fell on
their home town. They have returned home...
Boston Globe article:

Our future project is to build a safe playroom
in Sderot. Since the qassams began falling in Sderot,
after-school activities for children have disappeared. We want
to give them their childhood back...
To find out how you can help these kids,
please visit

information.
