What’s up y’all!!! (I’ve been thinking the same thing you have….. Therefore) I want to start off by apologizing for the terrible posts that have been put in the group by the staff…. The bios have been aight, but the post…eehhhhhh.

Now about me….. You’ll see this is a reoccurring theme.  I’m Elliot Tanzman, known around the world as Tanz. I say around the world bc I have been blessed to do a nice amount of traveling in my 25 (almost 26) years of life. I grew in Hillcrest NY and went to Rambam in the 5ts.  Where I played on 5 sports teams (hockey, softball, tennis, soccer &……….. BOWLING, high score of 269). I spent 2 years in Shraga, followed by 3 years in YU.  Majored in business management, and for better or worse met ISH….FYI that’s Yisrael Katz.

I work year round for NCSY recruiting all of the kids and staff for summer programs!!! This will be my 5th summer with Rabbi & Wifey…. Yes we call her Wifey…. You got a problem with that????

If there is one thing you need to know about the trip it’s that YOU DO NOT SIT IN MY SEAT!!!!  It is mine, NOT YOURS, and NO ONE will sit there until I meet up with you guys in Barcelona.

JFK Terminal 7 – If I know you, can’t wait to see you again.  If I don’t, can’t wait to meet you!!

Sup? My name is Clark Kent but my friends call me Yisrael Katz. I live in the beautiful valley in California where I work as the NCSY valley director. In my spare time I like to rock out to the backstreet boys with my wife and baby. I’m super pumped for Euro Ice for the Best. Summer. Ever.!!!!!

Rabbi Israel Lashak was born in Mexico City, Mexico. He attended high school in Baltimore Ner Yisroel Yeshiva where he also received his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Talmudic Law. He has an additional Masters degree in administrative science from Johns Hopkins University. In 1992, Rabbi Lashak received his rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Yochanan Zwieg in Miami, Florida. Rabbi Lashak began his career with NCSY over 20 years ago and became the Regional Director of the Southwest region in 1996. Along the way, Rabbi Lashak has had an immense impact on Klal Yisroel. From founding a school to running Birthright Israel trips, Rabbi Lashak has left no stone unturned in his quest to inspire all Jews of the Dallas community. Of course, his greatest impact has been on the Jewish teens of Dallas, and those from around the country, who have come to thousands of Latte & Learning programs and Shabbatonim or traveled to Europe and Israel on NCSY Summer Programs. He is also a co-founder of NCSY in Latin America and has spent countless hours teaching Spanish-speaking students of all ages, all over North and South America. Rabbi Lashak is also known as a passionate and dynamic public speaker who has thrilled audiences of all sizes and all ages in English, Spanish and Hebrew in twenty-seven different countries.

Hey everyone! My name is Shayna Winter and I’m so excited to be an advisor for you guys this summer! WOOHOO!!! I hail from Los Angeles, California where I went to Bnos Devorah High School. I then went to Michlalah and I am currently a senior in the Stern business school (no, no not the NYU business school). I absolutely love to sing, read books, chill with friends and play sports. I also LOVE food 😀 (yup, I’m gonna be that advisor with a suitcase full of food).  Can’t wait to meet all of you at the airport! It’s going to be an awesome summer!!!

SHALOM ALL! My name is Eliana “Lani” Diament, coming to you guys from Edison, NJ. I am super stoked to be traveling throughout Spain, and the holy land of Israel with you guys this summer. I went to Bruriah for high school, and then headed off to MMY for some good Torah learning. I am currently a student in Queens College, and you better all fly in to attend my graduation in the spring! In addition, I have been working for NJ NCSY for three years, but this will be my first official summer program! Ready for some fun facts: I have a twin brother, love to play the bongos, and would rather skip than walk. I cannot wait to spend the best.summer.ever, with some of the most incredible people! Can’t wait to meet you all at the airport!!!
