Innovating Jewish Supplementary Education
By Linda Block-Love, Director, Educational Leadership / What comes to mind when you hear the word “innovation”? The iPhone? Online colleges? Some new medical advance? It seems that just about everywhere we look these days, we encounter changes to the ways things are made or how things are done.
Elana’s Venture
By Elana Rivel, Associate Director / The story of my Jewish venture begins when I was about 8 years old and I accompanied my mother to her religious school class. As a day school kid, I was able to help the 4th and 5th graders she taught with their Hebrew and prayer studies. I loved being helpful and, more importantly, loved teaching Hebrew and prayer. I knew then that my life path would take me somewhere in Jewish education. Throughout high school and college, I progressed along this path.
