                                                Born and raised in upstate New York, Lori spent many summers at Camp Ramah in New England as a camper, counselor and Rosh Aidah (unit head). Upon graduation from Rutgers College, Lori taught for several years at the Solomon Schechter Day School in Newton, MA. She later earned a Masters Degree in History from Carnegie Mellon University. In Chicago, before becoming the Director of Ramah Day Camp, Lori helped start the Board of Jewish Education’s Marshall Jewish Learning Center. She has also taught at the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School. As her own children matured, Lori developed a wealth of material for young children’s Shabbat programs and has given numerous presentations on how to run a Tot Shabbat program. Camp provides Lori with the perfect opportunity to share her love of Judaism.
