Meet The Director

Rabbi Yale Spalter

Rabbi Yale Spalter lives in the North Peninsula with his wife Rivky and six children. He has spent the past 20 years working in summer camps and have been the director of Camp Gan Israel of the North Peninsula since 2015. My goal as a camp director is to help the counselors recognize each child’s unique interests and find ways to support their growth and discovery. I am looking forward to another wonderful summer at CGI!
