Staff
Machaneh Kadimah is staffed by a team of enthusiastic, dedicated and experienced madrichim (leaders). All our leaders are fully trained and DBS checked. These are the talented young people who plan and deliver two weeks’ worth of magnificently creative activities, and all are LJY-Netzer members who want to give to the class of 2019 what they experienced when they were on Kadimah as participants. Overseeing the whole camp is the LJY-Netzer movement work team. They are fully trained professionals employed by Liberal Judaism, all of whom have worked extensively with young people and have led multiple Kadimahs as well as other LJY-Netzer programmes. We also have on site a medic, a welfare office and Becca Fetterman, who is the Director or Youth.
The Site
Kadimah is going to be held at a beautiful boarding school in Devon. Its extensive grounds and many facilities is what makes every day of Kadimah exciting and different. Whether you want a dip in the swimming pool, or to create a masterpiece in the new art room, or to explore the fields and gardens of this fascinating school, it really has something for everyone.
