Meet Sayarim Merakez: Leon Faigenblat

Leon was born in Bogota, Colombia but now resides in Hollywood, Florida. He currently attends Barry University where he is majoring in Business Management. He enjoys playing soccer and basketball, spending time with his friends, and meeting new people.

Leon’s father was part of the first group of Puerto Ricans to come to Camp Judaea, and after hearing his dad’s stories, Leon was eager to begin attending Camp Judaea as a Sayarim camper. He has attended CJ every summer since then.

Having had three amazing summers as a staff member, during which he made great connections with the campers, Leon decided that not returning to CJ for summer 2016 was not an option for him!
