I frequently tell people that I have the best job in the temple; I get to play with dozens of children, talk with them, laugh with them, share my love for our heritage and tradition, travel with them, listen to their dreams and pains, feed them, and then send them home when they get tired and sticky. I get to partner with parents and help them to raise their children to be good, thoughtful, ethical people, menschen…. Jews.

I hope that you have all had a wonderful summer! We have been busy at the Sandi Kupperman Learning Center working on new programs, trading ideas, and working with the various committees to explore new innovations. I am confident that our students of all ages will be the beneficiaries of the thoughtful educational decisions. The staff and I are enthusiastic about some of our new additions and can’t wait for the students to join us.
