What is your favorite part of working at Schechter?

The community—it’s special to work at a place where your coworkers and students and their families are all part of one big Jewish community with shared values.

What do you love most about your job?

The students—I love making math attainable. My favorite moments are when students who are intimidated by math suddenly get it and feel empowered to be confident about their math skills.

Please share a quotation that is meaningful to you:

“People (or students) do not have shortcomings, only uniquenesses. The goal of a good teacher is to turn these uniquenesses into advantages.” —Israel Gelfand
