The Camp Seneca
Lake Staff Is:
Camp Seneca Lake takes pride in the quality staff that return year after year. Our division heads, Chinuch staff, Sports & specialty staff, waterfront directors, infirmary personnel and any other specialty area staff all play an integral part in the day to day operation of the camp. We are one big family that cares for your children like our own. Camp Seneca Lake is home to approximately 600 campers and 250 staff. Our counselor staff come to us from many of the main Yeshivahs in the New York Area as well as Florida, California and Israel. Working at Camp Seneca Lake is a very rewarding experience for both the staff members and the campers and ultimately, our goal is to have these experiences, friendships and memories stay with the campers and staff for the rest of their lives.

Head Rabbi Rabbi Zev Kahane and Jessica Kahane
Jessica and Rabbi Zev Kahane live in Bergenfield, NJ and are the parents of three cute kids: Margo, Yosef, and Solly. Jessica, a former camper of Camp Seneca, grew up in the Five Towns, and attended HAFTR and Ba’er Miriam Seminary. Zev grew up in Teaneck and attended TABC and Yeshivat Shaalvim.
The Kahane’s lived in Jerusalem for three years at the Yeshiva University Gruss campus where Zev received his Semicha rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University’s RIETS. While living in Israel, Zev taught in Shaalvim for Women, Mevaseret, and Torat Shraga. Now, Zev is a rebbe and Director of Student Activities at Manhattan Day School. Jessica is a teacher at Yeshiva Beis Hillel in Passaic. Zev and Jessica worked for NCSY where they were the directors of experiential education and family outreach.
The Kahane’s strive to serve Hashem with happiness and love and they look to spread that happiness and love to their family, friends, and students. They love spending their summers in camp. They recognize, that in addition to all the fun and great memories, camp provides great opportunities for unique growth and personal development.
