Dear CSL Community:
It is with great pleasure that I announce the hiring of David
Jevotovsky as the CSL 2014 Judaic Educator and Associate Program Director. David has grown up with CSL and Judaism
as his definitive roots. Originally
hailing from Rochester, NY, David has been a part of the CSL community since 2003
when he was a Cayugan camper. He
was a Tusc camper in 2009 and has worked on the staff since 2011 as a Mohawk
counselor, most recently in 2013 as the Assistant Unit Head.
David started his formal education at the Hillel Day School
in Rochester and eventually moved over to the Brighton schools, graduating from
Brighton High School in 2012.
He has been intimately involved with the United Synagogue Youth (USY) for many
years and eventually became the regional President in 2011. He also has had a great deal of
involvement with Temple Beth-El and the Jewish Federation. Currently in his sophomore year at
Emory University, David is a Human Health Major and English Minor. He is also a member of the Alpha
Episilon Pi Fraternity.
David is excited to work toward
integrating Jewish values within the daily CSL experience for all members of
the community. In addition to his responsibilities with Judaica periods and
organizing Shabbat services, David will take the lead on all creative efforts
related to major programs and special events during the course of the
summer.
“It was my Senior Camper
year that I really started getting involved in and passionate about Judaica and
Programming at camp, and it has only grown in my time as a staff member. So I am very excited to be able to work
in a capacity that allows for direct work in both areas. I can’t wait to really focus my energy
on something I really love at camp, knowing it has the potential to impact the
summers of not just the kids in my bunk but of everyone in the camp community. By working in
both Programming and Judaica, it is also my hope that I can help expand the Tikkun
Olam program and curriculum that has developed so much over the years.”
We are certainly thrilled and honored to have David back with
us at CSL in 2014.
All The Best,
Ari Baum, Assistant Director & Program
Director
1992 - Present
