Israeli spirit

I have been working as a Jewish educator in the Bay Area for 30 years, both as a classroom teacher and as an administrator. For me, the most exciting aspect of working with learners is the creation of a warm environment through a wide partnership of teachers, parents, and learners. 
My goal is to use that partnership to develop inquisitive, engaged, and caring children who will become lifelong learners and compassionate human beings. 

"I learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, and most from my pupils." (Yehuda haNasi, in Ta’anit 7a).

"מִכָּל מְלַמְדַי הִשְכַלְתִי - וּמִתַלְמִידַי יוֹתֵר מִכּוּלָם"
