Hadas Kluger

I'm a freshman at Eastern Michigan University studying social work. I just came back from workshop and learned a lot of Hebrew! My first year at Tavor was in 2011 and I've been going back ever since! My favorite part of machaneh is on Friday when we have really good food, sing and then do rikkud!

English , Hebrew , electives, email and we'll work it out.

Benjamin Pinsky

I am currently a first-year at The University of Michigan Medical School. In college, I studied biochemistry with minors in physics and creative writing, also at The University of Michigan. Throughout my undergrad I worked as a tutor and teacher in a variety of capacities and environments. I went to Tavor from 2008 to 2018, first as a camper then as a madrichol, and I ran the Ann Arbor Ken for the past few years. My nickname at camp was Binky, and I always loved chuggim (special interest groups). The best chug I ever ran was Dirty Jobs, where each day we would do an activity that got us as muddy or dirty as possible (and then after, we'd hose or shower it all off of course).

English, Math, and Science of all kinds

My availability varies, but I am free most nights and weekends if we communicate ahead of time.

Isaac Gewirth

I am a first-year at Tufts University doing a dual degree program (BA/BFA) where I will be majoring in studio art and either sociology or philosophy. I have been going to Tavor since 2011 and I have always loved waking up early Saturday morning to do the lake swim.

Charlotte H Frischer

I am a freshman at Ohio Wesleyan University, majoring in education. I started going to Tavor as an amelimot in 2010, I have worked as an amelimot madrecha and I helped run the spykids chug this summer during Techno Tavor. I think the most beautiful thing about machaneh are the relationships that you build with your kvutza and madrechimot. I think this is important and beautiful because relationships shape experience and how much one gets out of anything and everything that happens at machaneh.

Math, geometry and algebra

Availability shifts due to class schedule. We can discuss days/times as needed.

Hanna London

Hi! My name is Hanna and I am a senior at the University of Maryland majoring in Civil Engineering and minoring in Sustainability! I started going to Tavor in 2007 and have gone almost every summer since. I come from a big Tavor family, my dad started going in the 60s. My favorite part of Tavor is tiyul (camping trips)! In these crazy times, I really appreciate all the camping skills I learned on tiyul because I use them when I want to escape into nature!

Jacob Gurt

I am currently taking a gap year before I go to Earlham College next year, majoring in linguistics. I have been going to Tavor since 2012. My favorite part of the week at camp is Zman Ruchani (Spiritual Time), when everyone takes some time to relax and appreciate the week as part of preparing for Shabbat. Shira (singing) after meals is also lots of fun!

I am currently a junior at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and majoring in mathematics and horticulture. I have been going to Tavor every summer since 2009 and hope to be there again this summer. My favorite part about Tavor, besides all of the amazing people, is swimming in the chof (beach)!
