Hi, I’m Natan. This will be my twelfth summer at Camp Ramah Darom! I spent seven summers at Ramah Darom as a camper, and this will be my fifth summer on staff. I did Ramah Israel Seminar, and I also spent a gap year in Israel on Nativ. The only reason I was not at camp last summer was that I was in Tel Aviv working at a startup. I’m excited to be back for my first summer as a Rosh Aidah. I’m from Atlanta, GA and attended the University of Michigan where I studied history with a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. After camp, I will be moving to Chicago to work for the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and work as an ACCESS Associate.
