Dear Parents,
I will be teaching your children about the Jewish Holidays this year. So, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself.
I was raised in Michigan where I graduated from Hillel Day School and I was confirmed in the Shaarey Zedek Hebrew High School. After high school, I moved out east for college and beyond. I spent years in Boston, New York, Israel, London, and Washington, DC. I recently returned to Michigan to be near family and work as the In-House Counsel for the Michigan Jewish Institute.
I am trained as a lawyer and I am PASSIONATE about education; in particular Jewish education. Over the years I have worked with various aged students in both formal and informal educational settings. From camps, to staffing Olympiyada and Birthright in Israel, to running a pre-school summer camp program and teaching in Hebrew Schools--I love being in the proverbial 'classroom'.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my love of Judaism with your children. If there is anything I can do to enhance your child's learning experience, please do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to a wonderful year of learning and growth with your children.
Shannah Tovah (Have a Great Year),
Morah Emily Hollenberg
