Hora Keff

This page is about the August camp of the 1990s and 2000s. For the Eskayo dance, see Hora Keff (dance).

Hora Keff (Hebrew: הורה כיף) was a Tuesday-through-Sunday dance camp created and run by Moshe Eskayo from 1990 (concurrently with the final Hora Shalom) through 2008.

In addition to Moshe himself, Eileen Weinstock was invariably a member of the teaching staff. A table of all teachers at Moshe's camps can be found here.
