04 When did you decide your role in Jewish communal service was the right path for you?

I have been a camp counselor at OSRUI for the past five years and have always enjoyed getting to be authentically Jewish with other Jews. Additionally, I fell in love with education when I had the opportunity to take teens on outdoor trips.
