Well known on the west coast for his cross disciplinary approach to fitness and versatile coaching ability, Omer Markush brings an impressive sports pedigree to the Paradisus in Playa Del Carmen. As Athletic Director at Ohr Eliyahu Academy in Los Angeles for the past decade and former basketball coach at Valley Torah High School, Coach Omer is a seasoned trainer and educator. He is the founder of Kadoorsal Coach’s Sports Camp, which serves the greater LA Jewish community with multi-sport leagues throughout the year as well as a summer camp.

For the past 16 years, Alyssa Schecter has been intimately involved in developing, overseeing, and executing day camp programming throughout the Jewish community. Most recently, she worked at Camp Lavi in Pennsylvania. Her love of children compelled her to dedicate her Shabbatot to the Young Israel of Lawrence Cedarhurst where she revamped the Youth Program. She is also beloved at HAFTR High School, where she organizes student activities. What sets her apart is her ability to make sure every child is engaged and has a rewarding experience. Besides her wealth of experience, Alyssa has a passion for teaching. She earned a Masters in elementary education and special education and used that to passionately engage 1st-year students in HAFTR’s Early Childhood division for many years. She also enjoys swimming and traveling with her husband and three children.
