It is so fitting that Jackie Hajdenberg, our 2017 Sayarim Merakezet, joined the CJ family as a Sayarim camper ten years ago in 2007– what a way to come full circle!
Her favorite memory as a camper was being a member of the Teva (nature) chug (elective) each summer. She fondly remembers making organic soaps and lip balms, having picnics by the lake, and even starting to design and build the layout for the beautiful garden that we have today. Her positive camp experience led to her participation in our MIT (madrichim in training) program in 2013. She worked as a counselor the following two summers and returned in 2016 as the Oranim Merakezet.
Jackie grew up in Maitland, FL, which is just outside of Orlando, and now attends Barnard College at Columbia University where she studies Political Science. Her hobbies include rock climbing (bouldering), traveling, cooking, and camping.
