Ezra Balser.cropped.smShalom!  My name is Ezra Balser and I will be Rosh Nivonim this summer!  I have been a Ramahnik since my Halutzim (entering 6th Grade) summer in 1996 and I have been hooked ever since! I took my freshman year of college aboard and studied at the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem from 2003-2004.  I received a B.A in Religious Studies from York University in 2008.  While at York, I was a member of Kol Neshama, the York Jewish a cappella choir. I currently serve as a club advisor for Jewish Student Union in the Chicago area as well as serving as the Youth Director at Am Yisrael Conservative Congregation in Northfield, IL.  In the fall I will be entering the Rabbinical School program at Hebrew College in Boston. I have been a Rosh Edah at Camp Ramah in New England since 2010 and I am very excited to be returning for my second year as Rosh Nivonim for kayitz 2012.
