Jewish tradition teaches us that we were made b’tzelem Elohim, in the image of God. Each one of us is a whole universe unto ourselves, of infinite value. And each of us is woven into the fabric of creation with the invitation/commandment to do our part for the collective. Judaism gives us a framework for living and the tools — tradition, text, ritual, daily practice, community — to become whole in ourselves and to contribute to the on-going repair of the universe. 

My teaching is focused on active, playful, open-ended engagement that creates joyful explorations of Jewish life and practice. My work emphasizes creativity and collaborative learning led by curiosity. My educational models have been anchored in emergent curriculum, project-based learning, maker space, and cultivating lived Jewish experiences.
