We thank Yael for her partnership with Jacob Cytryn during the first years of his directorate and for her dedication, leadership and efforts to take Camp Ramah in Wisconsin from strength to strength. We look forward to Yael and her family’s continued involvement with Ramah Wisconsin and its programs.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Adina Allen as the new Assistant Director of Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. Adina will join us at camp in July as our Ruach Ramah Coordinator; will be a part of our senior staff through Family Camp in August, and will assume the responsibilities of year-round Assistant Director in mid-August. Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, Adina has been a part of the Camp Ramah in Wisconsin community since 2001, including numerous summers as a camper and counselor as well as two summers as a Rosh Aidah. Most recently, Adina worked in the Sales/Marketing department at The Advisory Board Company in Washington DC, in the health care research division.
