Talia Gnessin

Assistant Camp Director; Judaic Program Director

Talia’s first summer at JCA was as a camper in Alufim – and she couldn’t stay away! She transitioned from a camper to a counselor as a CIT, became a General Counselor, Dance Specialist, Head of Arts, and Unit Head. After years of working and learning in the Jewish non-profit sector, she couldn’t help but return to the best place on earth as the year-round Jewish Program Director. Talia’s love for the Jewish calendar has been cultivated by working in Experiential Jewish Education at NYU, Kivunim, and most recently – OneTable. She has a deep passion for getting others excited about Jewish song, text, and ritual, and can’t wait to infuse some of that magic into camp!
