Jonathan talks about his background, growing up in the South, attending Henry S. Jacobs Camp, and about the camp's history and mission.  Prior to Hurricane Katrina, the Henry S. Jacobs Camp was an evacuation location for families escaping storms.  In the days before Katrina, people were planning to come to the camp in Utica, Mississippi, and Cohen prepared for the influx of evacuees.  During the storm, the camp lost power.  Cohen describes the group that stayed at camp and the remarkable community they formed, taking over the day-to-day care and upkeep of the camp and even organized activities, such as yoga.  Jonathan says this enabled them to cope with the emotional pressure of the storm.  Some people stayed at camp for as long as two months.  No one was charged for housing or food.  When a Jewish Telegraphic Agency story about the camp becoming a shelter was published, Cohen began to receive calls from Jewish congregations around the country wanting to help by sending supplies.  In consultation with the Union for Reform Judaism leadership, Cohen created the "Jacob's Ladder" project, a relief supply operation based out of an old warehouse in Utica.  Reform Jewish leaders would come down to work at Jacob's Ladder and live at camp.  The project was in operation for two months and focused on delivering needed supplies to small, isolated towns on the Mississippi Coast. Cohen reflects on life after the storm and the impact his activism had on the Jewish community of New Orleans and beyond.  With the decline in the city's Jewish population, the Camp must now struggle to fill its beds.  The first summer after the storm, free scholarships from the Foundation for Jewish Camping enabled anybody from a storm-affected area to come to camp for free.  But this program only lasted one year, and the camp's future might well be tied to the future of the New Orleans Jewish community.  Cohen tried to create a Katrina-free zone over these summers, offering affected kids a degree of normalcy.  Katrina was hardly ever mentioned.  But even in the second summer after the storm, some kids were still living in FEMA trailers, and he and his staff have offered exceptional emotional support to these kids.
