Paul Reichenbach, Former URJ Director of Camping & Israel Programs

Paul Reichenbach had a wonder journey of forty four years supervising the youth programs of the URJ. He served as the Co-Director in the 70’s and 80’s of the NFTY Teen Leadership Camp (Kutz) in Warwick, NY. In 1978 he began directing the NFTY programs in Israel enabling  more than 30,000 teens and young adults to have an inspiring summer or semester adventure. During the last seventeen years of his career (2002-2019), he had the honor to supervise all of the URJ camps across North America. During his tenure, the URJ camp system grew from twelve to eighteen camps at its peak. The creation of the Six Points specialty camps (Sci Tech, Sports and Art), with support from the Foundation for Jewish Camp and generous donors, expanded the diversity of URJ camps making it possible for many more young people to have a fulfilling summer of friendship, fun creativity and a joyful Judaism.
