HI KOCHAVIM! My name is Emma Gelb, and I cannot wait to be your madricha (counselor) this kayitz (summer)!! A little bit about me: I am from Sharon, Massachusetts, this is my fourth time being a counselor in Kochavim, and I just finished my second year of college where I am studying to become a teacher. I love singing, dancing, art, animals, and Disney music. This kayitz is going to be so much fun! While pretty much everything is going to be amazing, I can’t wait to have medurot (bonfires) and do lots of shira and rikud (singing and dancing) with you all! I am so excited to get to meet you all in just a few weeks! Camp is going to be so amazing (-:

I spent eight amazing summers at camp as a chanicha (camper) and I am having so much fun this year, my first year on staff. I am from Chevy Chase, Maryland, but starting in the fall I will be living in New York City attending Barnard College. My favorite parts of camp are omanut (art), basketball, and singing on Shabbat. I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you! We are going to have an amazing kayitz!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Ariel Malkan. I’m 22 years old, and I’m from Ra’anana, Israel. I like to read books and work out. I really like to train in kung fu — like in Kung Fu Panda (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXi3Mv6KMzY), but don’t worry, I’m nicer than the master! Kung fu has cool technics, and I would love to teach so some moves! (Safely of course). I made a list of some songs that I would like to teach you guys… and I would love to learn from you guys some songs too! I’m looking forward to meet you all this kayitz! We are going to have a lot of fun together at camp.
Howdy howdy Tzrif 10! My name is Zach Leventhal, and I’m super excited to be spending this kayitz (summer) with all of you! I am 18 years old and come from Olney, Maryland. I’ve gone to Ramah for eight years – seven at Palmer and one on Ramah Israel Seminar. This year will be my first as a madrich (counselor), and I will also be an archery instructor. I’ll start school at Carnegie Mellon University this fall, with plans to study economics and mathematics. I really like singing (especially at camp!) and playing games like Chess and Scrabble. I hope you’re as pumped as I am for Kochavim, and I can’t wait for an incredible kayitz!
