Yoni Glatt...Our Youth Director!
Yoni Glatt is the director of Camp Lavi's teen touring program. He grew up in Queens, NY and is a die hard Mets fan. Yoni is moving to Livingston from the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife, Lana, and their daughter Ariella Shea (did we mention he's a die hard Mets fan?). Lana is originally from Melbourne, Australia, has also worked with Achva for several years and is pursuing her Master's Degree in Child Psychology (and according to Yoni she makes the worlds best chicken soup).
After graduating from HAFTR High School, Yoni went to learn in Israel at Yeshivat Reishit Yerushalayim where he later served as a Madrich. Yoni graduated Magna Cum Laude from Queens College, and later received his MA in Creative Writing from the institution. While at QC he spent three years working with handicapped youths at Bet Ezra. Aside from his work at Achva, Yoni manages a teen-oriented Jewish rock band called "Yaakov Chesed" and designs Jewish themed crossword puzzles for a variety of newspapers including The Jewish Press and The South Florida Jewish News. He and is family are very excited to join the Etz Chaim community
