Meet Our Staff
JACOB “GUATEY” KATZ, PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Hey Biluim! My name is Guatey and I’m so excited to serve as your Program Director next summer. I believe camp is truly the greatest place on earth and I can’t wait to show each and every one of you how special it can be. This is going to be my eleventh summer with CYJ, second as Program Director, and my fourth as a member of the head staff team. Not only were some of my greatest memories made at Biluim but I made life long friendships with people who I’m proud to call my best friends to this day. There really is nothing quite like a camp Biluim summer and I’m looking forward making this the Best Summer Ever (BSE)!!!
ETAI BABITSKY, ASSISTANT PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Hey future Biluimniks! My name is Etai, and I’m so excited to be back this summer as your Assistant Program Director! My journey with CYJ started all the way back in 2014, and it’s been my favourite place ever since. This will be my fourth year on the Biluim staff team, and I can’t wait to help make this summer the best one yet! You’ll probably find me out on a canoe adventure or relaxing by the campfire after an awesome night of shirkud. When I’m in the city, I’m a business student in my final year at Toronto Metropolitan University, and I spend most of my free time at the gym. Can’t wait to meet you all, make new memories, and have an unforgettable summer together!
NATAN PERLMAN, HEAD OF PROGRAMMING
My name’s Natan and I’m so excited to be returning to Biluim as the Head of Programming! This will be my 4th year as a Biluim staff and my 9th year at a CYJ camp.
At camp, I love running great programs, moshing in the chadar, and making the kind of memories and jokes that last forever. My Billy year was life-changing, and I’m excited to help make yours just as meaningful.
In the city, I study psychology at TMU and work as a youth program coordinator at a synagogue. I love good food, good friends, and living in the moment.
Can’t wait to meet you and show you Biluim!

Hi! I’m Liry and I’m so excited to be your Biluim Head Counsellor this summer! I’m an Israeli, and this will be my 5th summer at a CYJ camp - I was a Biluim camper in 2019. In 2022 I joined the IDF and served as a Mashakit Tash in Givati unit during the war. Since I was discharged from the army, I traveled the world and last summer was my first summer as a staff at camp and I’m so excited to be back at my favorite place - where I created the most amazing memories and friendships!
