Each Youth Havurah has a team of teachers who have interaction with all students in their havurah. These teams consist of a Lead Teacher supported by adult and teen teachers. Many of these teachers also work with students in the Weekday Torah programs.

Our teaching teams are diverse in their backgrounds, experiences and approaches. Many of them are members of the congregation and have children in the school. Some have completed Halutzim, our congregant teacher-training program or have graduated from Madrichim, our teen teacher-training program. Others have come to us through the Jewish camp experience or are pursuing higher education degrees in Jewish studies. Our teachers include Americans, Israelis and recent immigrants to the United States.


RESOURCE SPECIALISTS

Flora Kupferman, Special Education Resource Teacher
Jonathan Bayer, Music Specialist

Every student is assisted by special people who provide enrichment, help and support.

Each Youth Havurah, Sunday or Wednesday, is supported by art and music specialists. We also have a librarian.

Our Special Education Resource Teacher provides special assistance to students with different learning styles and provides teachers with support and planning to overcome obstacles.

The Special Education Resource Teacher visits all the Youth Havurot on a regular basis, and all of our weekday Torah classes, working with students individually or in small groups, assisting teachers with classroom management strategies or tips on matching teaching techniques with learning styles.
