I'm taking the lead in Jewish Education. Being at Davidson was like a breath of fresh air. The administration cared so deeply about our personal z needs and made it a fantastic communal experience — the shared C Purim parties, the revolving Shabbat dinners were all part of that. I learned so much from the professors...a group of amazing educators. I knew all of C) them and they all knew me. My particular interest was 0 0 in religious school administration, and how best to use our schools and youth programs to involve Jewish L4- teenagers in our communities. Today, I'm leading the L - education program of one of the largest synagogues P1 in Michigan. With 2,200 families and over 600 ,VT children from kindergarten through twelfth grade, I know I have a chance to really C C) make a difference in Jewish education. 0 z J Is Education Director Congregation Shaarey Zedek Southfield, MI 2/ 6 2004 22 The Jewish Theological Seminary 3080 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 212.678.8030 www.itsa.eduidavidson We teach Jewish leaders. 807140
