Staff Spotlight: Leora Clair
Hiiii amazing GIVErs and family!!! My name is Leora Clair and I am beyond honored to work on GIVE this summer! I went as a camper a few years back and truly feel that it is a life changing experience – chessed, in Israel, with amazing girls, and a motto of “Hashem loves you” guarantees an incredible summer! I’m a born and bred Chicagoan and attended Ida Crown Jewish Academy for high school. For seminary I went to MMY (whooo!) and am enrolled in Stern’s Honor Program, Baruch Hashem! Thank G-d I have awesome things to look forward to with GIVE 2013 being at the top of my list! Tizku L’mitzvot and get excited! This summer is gonna rock your socks off 🙂 🙂 🙂

Staff Spotlight: Shoshana Grad
Helllllloooooo! My name is Shoshana but I don’t think anyone has ever called me that before. My friends call me Shosh and family calls me Shana… Why two different names? I have absolutely no idea. I live in Livingston, New Jersey, and will be a senior in Stern College in the fall. Some important things you should know about me: I am completely terrified of fish, I have poor circulation in one toe, I have OCD for brushing my teeth, I have grandparents named Lenore and Leonard, I have a peanut butter M&M OBSESSION, I am most probably the best guitar hero player in all of Israel, I love to play basketball, and I have a pet frog named Spaghetti. I’m so excited for my second summer on NCSY GIVE and to spend a (g)RAD summer with all of you!!!
Staff Spotlight: Rikki Adler
Hi I’m Rikki Adler. I ‘m from West Hempstead, NY and I am currently studying psychology at Queens College. I went to Central for High School and then to Shaalvim for my year in Israel. While I am an NCSY advisor all year round for the Central East Region, GIVE is my first NCSY summer program. I love that I get to experience GIVE for the first time with my GIVERers this summer. I enjoy being an advisor as it affords me the opportunity not only to interact and learn with such wonderful girls, but also to have fun alongside them! I know it’s going to be a wonderful, exciting, and a growth filled summer!
