Simcha of the Month: Sergio Meizner and Samantha Harris

Should this section continue as “Simcha of the Month”? At camp, the staff shares words of positivity with each other as “Warm Fuzzies”. Whatever we call it going forward, this is the section where we say “mazal tov” to a member of our community.

If you’ve had a baby, taken an exciting new job, won an Emmy, made National Honor Society, or done something else you’d love people to know about, shoot us an email to with “mazal tov” in the subject. And on that note….

MAZAL TOV to Sergio Meizner and Samantha Harris on the birth of their daughter, Emilia Mina Meizner Harris, on June 7, 2026! Samantha has been part of CYJ since she was a camper in 2003, and their love story began when she and Sergio met as madrichim in 2015. Fast forward and now they’re a family of three! (“Nu, when are you having another? The Goldbergs have four, it’s not like I’m asking for a kidney.”)
