Dear Friends,

On Monday, June 24 Camp Menorah will open for the summer. This past Sunday 250 people gathered to bid farewell to much beloved Daniel Sher as he begins rabbinical studies at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem.  Daniel and Jen will be back in LA in a year to continue the HUC program.

Fortunately we have found a terrific new Camp and Youth Director; Chelsea Rothschild. Chelsea Rothschild grew up in Los Angeles and attended San Diego State University where she received her B.A. in Liberal Studies.  She has recently graduated from American Jewish University with a M.A. in Education and is a thesis candidate for an M.B.A. in non-profit management.  For nine Summers Chelsea worked at Camp Isaiah, the day camp ofTemple Isaiah in Los Angeles, over which time she worked her way up from counselor to assistant director. She is excited for the amazing challenges ahead and looks forward to an incredible summer and year!  Chelsea looks forward to meeting you and your children and becoming an integral part of the Temple Menorah community. Please call her at 310-316-8444 x113 to enroll your children or go online to camp@templemenorah.org.
