Going to summer camp is almost a rite of passage for many Jewish tweens and teens nationwide. With puberty hormones raging, unspoken (and spoken) peer pressure, and the inherent design of these camps, it is no wonder that they produce lots and lots of couples. In this feature, producers Audrey Douglass & Ramona Saft interview couples who have met at camps, the founder of a dating app for summer camp alumni, and former counselors who are now working to reform consent culture at camp.

The No Man's Land of Manhattan

The average New Yorker or tourist who visits the Empire State Building may not notice Legends Sports Bar, one of many which are opposite this iconic landmark.

The basement of this bar is known as The Football Factory and is a hub for football fans from all over the world. The bar is the home of more than thirty supporters groups who gather together weekly to celebrate and commiserate the highs and lows of their team's live matches, despite the five-hour time difference between the UK and the East Coast. Producer Tamara Kormornick gives us the play by play.
