Kaminsky organized and conducted one of the earliest writing and reminiscing groups for elders, and edited the work of Barbara Myerhoff in Stories As Equipment for Living. He also explored the culture of Yiddishkeit. His long poem, The Road from Hiroshima, was produced as a play for voices for National Public Radio and was the inspiration for other works including a musical requiem.
