Jake Silberlicht

Jake or “Yakov” has been involved with Israel Lacrosse since 2013. He’s been playing on our Field and Indoor Men’s National teams since 2014, captain since 2016, and is currently our Director of Youth Development. His role includes exposing and developing the sport on the ground in the Holy Land. He enjoys eating falafel and hiking in the Negev Desert. He loves that Israel Lacrosse allows him to “use the sport to create opportunity for Israeli youth, both Jewish and Arab, who may be less fortunate than ourselves.”
