Welcome to Daniel Greyber, Camp Ramah in California's New Executive Director

Dan is the founder and creator of LISHMA, a joint venture of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies and Camp Ramah in California. LISHMA is a program where 18 young adult Jews engage in their own spiritual exploration of traditional Jewish texts, practice and prayer in an egalitarian environment. As a result of the success of the LISHMA program, he was selected as a recipient of the Joshua Venture Fellowship, which supports and trains emerging Jewish social entrepreneurs to transform their visions into action. In addition, Dan has served as rabbinic-intern at Sinai Temple and Temple Beth El in Los Angeles, where he undertook many responsibilities. In 1998, Dan received the Henry Fisher Award for outstanding achievement in Jewish Studies at the University of Judaism (1998). 

On a completely different front, Dan was Captain of the United States Swimming Team at the 1993 World Maccabiah Games and has written an essay, “.08 of a Second.”  Dancing on the Edge of the World.  (Los Angeles, CA: Roxbury Park, Lowell House Press, 2000), describing his personal journey from being a competitive swimmer to becoming a rabbi.

Welcome Dan!
