Ariella Moss Peterseil - Assistant Director
Email: ariella@campramah.com
Ariella has been in her current full-time job for two years and was the Summer Assistant Director for 3 years prior to that.
Ariella came to Ramah for the first time in 2000, after her Army service, as a member of the “mishlachat”, the Israeli delegation.
After falling in love with camp, Ariella came back summer after summer from her home in Israel, in various roles.
Ariella brings her creativity, her love of working with young adults, her background in the Education Unit of the IDF, Jewish Philosophy at Hebrew University and studies in Theater at the “School of Visual Theater” to the role.
Ariella can be found on the track, talking to staff members, unit heads or solving a crisis!
At camp when Ariella has some spare time, she enjoys running or swimming and hanging out with her favorite 2 people- her husband Nachum and daughter Miya. |

Elissa Kline-Beber - Parent Liaison
Email: elissa@campramah.com
Elissa has spent the last two summers as a yoetzet at camp, this is the first year that she has been working in a year-round capacity. However, her love of Ramah dates back 30 years, when she first began as a Nitzanim camper.
Elissa is a registered social worker who has worked with children and families throughout her career. She brings her therapeutic expertise, her passion for camp and her desire to ensure that as many children as possible have the opportunity to experience the magic of Ramah, to this position. In addition to Elissa's work with campers and parents, a highlight of her summers is collaborating with the fantastic tzevet at camp.
Elissa and her husband, Justin, have 4 sons; Samuel, Jonah, Ezra and Isaac, who are all already counting down the days until camp starts. |
