About The Position

The Kallah Operations Director is the primary point of contact for the Perlman Camp partnership, managing key communications and ensuring the successful oversight and execution of all operational functions supporting Kallah community programs. BBYO Summer Experiences bring together the best of the year-round AZA and BBG experience—lessons in leadership, community service, global connections, exploration and a deep understanding of Jewish heritage and tradition. For decades, our programs at camp and on campus have served as second homes for teens. BBYO Summer Experiences welcome a community of teens from across North America and more than 40 international communities to ensure that teens build a diverse network of lifelong friends. International Kallah is a 3-week Jewish learning and spirituality institute that inspires teens to explore their Jewish identities and interests in a diverse, pluralistic setting encouraging questioning and experimentation. Kallah participants gain important Judaic skills and come away feeling a deeper connection to Jewish study, Israel, and community. Kallah is expected to reach approximately 200 teens.
