One afternoon in the mid-1990s, Adam Jed was playing pool at a summer camp in Ashford, Connecticut. Jed, then about 12 years old, faced a difficult shot, with the cue ball stuck amongst several other balls. In that situation, he\u2019d have used a bridge, a small device to elevate and stabilize his stick over the balls to attempt a shot. He couldn\u2019t find one in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man called out, \u201cHold on. I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d He returned a few minutes later brandishing a pool bridge he\u2019d just fashioned himself, or had asked a carpenter to make, in the camp\u2019s woodworking shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man knew a thing or two about the sport from having starred in the films The Hustler<\/em> and The Color of Money<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was famed actor Paul Newman, who also played leading roles in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof<\/em>, Hud, The Sting<\/em>, Slap Shot<\/em>, Absence of Malice<\/em>, The Verdict<\/em> and plenty more blockbuster films over a half-century-long career. Newman had founded the place, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp \u2014 evoking the refuge in another of his memorable films, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid<\/em> \u2014 in 1988 as a retreat for children with chronic, sometimes terminal, conditions. Jed, who suffered from a blood infection that cost him parts of both legs and several fingers, attended a 10-day session each summer for a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe showed me what it was and how to use it,\u201d Jed, a lawyer in Washington, D.C., said of the bridge Newman handed him. \u201cIt captures a lot about him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Book\"
The Extraordinary Life of An Ordinary Man: A Memoir<\/a><\/em>, by Paul Newman,
based on interviews and oral histories conducted by Stewart Stern,
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2022, available at the National Library of Israel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Newman was known worldwide for his strong performances, handsome looks and blue eyes, respected as an actor and swooned at by female fans. He earned an Academy Award as best actor in The Color of Money<\/em>; raced cars professionally; and was married to his second wife, actress Joanne Woodward (now 95), for 50 years until his death in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philanthropy is another significant aspect of the legacy of Newman. He founded a food company, Newman\u2019s Own, in 1982, less to benefit himself \u2014 although its revenue from the sales of such products as salad dressing, lemonade, popcorn and spaghetti sauce, all featuring a sketch of Newman on the packaging, is nothing to sneeze at \u2014 than to yield profits to give away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Newman meant all <\/em>of the profits, which still go towards an eponymous foundation that helps to fund the camps and contributes to other charitable organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What began as one facility in Connecticut now encompasses 16 camps, known collectively as the SeriousFun Children\u2019s Network: nine in the United States and seven abroad, including the Jordan River Village, located in northern Israel, just west of Tiberias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Connecticut operation alone\u00a0has a $20 million annual budget, most of it raised from donors. In 2025, it provided 40,000 \u201chealing experiences\u201d to children and their families, a term that Jimmy Canton, Hole in the Wall\u2019s chief executive officer, said includes the camp, home visits, programs for healthy siblings, bereavement sessions for parents and alumni events. Approximately 1,000 children annually attend the camp\u2019s summer sessions\u00a0and 1,500 children and their relatives attend the autumn and spring sessions, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman\u2019s friend David Horvitz, who served on Hole in the Wall\u2019s board of directors, said he tried bringing Newman to Israel in the early 2000s to see the Jordan River camp, which Newman had endowed with $1 million. That trip didn\u2019t transpire. <\/p>\n\n\n

A report on the upcoming filming of Exodus<\/em> in Israel. David Ben-Gurion reportedly “liked the script very much” – From the September 11, 1959, edition of The Australian Jewish News (Melbourne<\/em><\/a>)<\/a><\/em>, the Historical Jewish Press Collection at the National Library of Israel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Horvitz thinks Newman\u2019s only visit to Israel was in 1959\u20131960 to film Exodus<\/em>, a fictionalized account of the state\u2019s founding. Newman told him he\u2019d brought Woodward and one of their daughters and most enjoyed two experiences while in Israel: the food and motorcycling around Haifa late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Exodus
An ad from the July 13, 1962 edition of <\/a>The Australian Jewish Times<\/a><\/em>, the Historical Jewish Press Collection at the National Library of Israel<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Newman was raised Jewish in Cleveland, but told Horvitz that Abba Hillel Silver, the family\u2019s rabbi at The Temple Tifereth-Israel, wouldn\u2019t allow Newman and his brother, Arthur, to have a bar mitzvah because their mother was not Jewish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman explained in conversations that he founded the camp in gratitude for his good fortune in life. He would often say that being born with features deemed handsome may have made his career, but that coincidence was as random as a child being afflicted with a terminal illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wanted, I think, to acknowledge luck: the chance of it, the benevolence of it in my life and the brutality of it in the lives of others, made especially savage for children because they may not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it,\u201d Newman wrote in the introduction to I Will Sing Life<\/em>, a 1992 book about the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said Horvitz: \u201cHe never thought he was a good actor. He knew he was gorgeous. He felt a responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cHe wanted to create a space where people who were dealt a terrible hand could forget for a brief time,\u201d said Canton, who began working at the camp as a counselor 38 years ago. \u201cHe was a great human being, a great man. Whatever influence he had, he wanted to use it for good. It was the purity, the goodness, of who he was. \u2026 It was the humility of that great man to realize how lucky he was, and the desire to pay it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jed, Horvitz and Canton said they often noticed Newman in simple moments, blending in easily among children clueless of his celebrity. That\u2019s how Newman preferred it \u2014 \u201cHe had not a shred of founders\u2019 syndrome,\u201d Canton said. He was just the older man with folded eyeglasses hanging from his buttoned polo shirt who\u2019d take out a boat to fish on the camp\u2019s lake and bring a child or two along. He\u2019d perform in skits with kids; Newman made sure each camp included a theater because he believed performing to be therapeutic, Horvitz said. Canton remembered a boy with a terminal illness telling Newman, \u201cI\u2019m glad I had cancer so I could come here.\u201d A stunned Newman could just shake his head.<\/p>\n\n\n

Horvitz said he\u2019s unsure why Newman was drawn to suffering children but suggested that guilt might\u2019ve been at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe had six children: five girls and a boy,\u201d Horvitz said; Scott Newman died at 28 of a drug overdose. \u201cHe felt he was a lousy father. He was away a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of Newman\u2019s daughters, Lissie and Clea, are involved in the Connecticut camp and the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman and Woodward were honored in 1992 at the Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C. Unbeknownst to them, several campers were brought in to entertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Jed went on-stage, actress Sally Field gave him a kiss of encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he\u2019s gratified to have given back to Newman that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow cool was it,\u201d Jed said, \u201cto be able to perform for a famous performer who\u2019d done so much for me and so many other children?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newman is honored at the camp daily, although he\u2019d likely have put the kibosh on it were he still alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what campers chant before most meals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camp\u2019s been good to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camp\u2019s been good to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So thank you, Paul,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Hole in the Wall.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camp\u2019s been good to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
