Meet the Director
Guy Korngold spent three years as a camper at Camp Kinneret and then became a Biluim camper in 1985. In 1986 he participated in Biluim Israel and then returned to Camp Kinneret the following summer. Guy spent the next six summers at Camp Kinneret and ultimately served as the Program Director in 1991 and 1992. In 1993 and 1994, Guy spent his summers in Israel guiding teenagers throughout the Israeli landscape. He enjoyed this experience immensely and therefore chose to stay in Israel for the year and serve as a madrich and coordinator for the Young Judaea Year Course Program.

This experience led him to New York City where he spent the next three years as the National Director of Hamagshimim, the college and university expression of Hadassah. Summers were spent coordinating activity at the Hadassah leadership camp in Upstate New York. Guy then decided to return to Montreal where he enrolled in the Concordia University MBA program. Guy also has his BA Anthropology and a diploma in Early Childhood Education. Guy is married to Erica Rubin (also a former Kinneret/Biluim camper and staff member) and they are the proud parents of Daniel and Mia who seem to enjoy their summers at campmore then anyone else! Guy started to play guitar at the age of sixteen while a camper at Biluim and lists canoeing and camping among his great passions. Guy has been happily serving as the Camp Kinneret-Biluim Director since 1999.

Assistant Director:
Shoshi Rothschild began her camp experience at Kinneret in 1996, at 9 years old, and enjoyed three summers there as a camper. After a few summers spent as a CIT and 1st year staff at URJ Camp George, Shoshi happily returned to Kinneret in 2004. She has acted as cabin madricha, Kochot Unit Head, Assistant Program Director, and Program Director over the course of her 7 years on staff, and is thrilled to now be working as the camp’s Assistant Director.

Shoshi grew up in Ottawa and moved to Montreal in 2005, after spending her first year of university studying abroad, in England. She graduated from McGill University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in English Literature and History. Shoshi currently works at the Bronfman Israel Experience Centre, also known as Montreal’s Birthright office, as an alumni outreach coordinator. Not only has this position allowed her to meet many interesting young adults and become heavily involved in the Montreal Jewish community, it also gives her the opportunity to lead Birthright trips; a definite perk! Shoshi led her first Birthright trip this past December, and is excited to be a trip madricha again this summer, before heading up to camp. After having spent so many years at Camp Kinneret, Shoshi feels incredibly lucky to be involved in a new capacity this year, and can’t wait for the summer to get started!
