Joe Silber was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Aventura, FL when he was 12. This summer he will be the Bogrim Merakez!

He studies Hospitality and Restaurant Management at FIU with hopes of a future as a successful restaurateur.

Joe began his Camp Judaea journey in 2009 as a Kesher camper and returned again in 2010 for Bogrim. His favorite memory is from the Bogrim trip to Washington, D.C. This will be Joe’s third summer as a CJ staff member.

Joe is an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan. “My dad and his brothers have been Steelers fans since the ’70s ever since they attended a football camp in Pittsburgh and were coached by the Steelers players,” Joe explains. “It’s a family tradition.”
