Favorite thing about Rodeph Sholom School:
Rodeph Sholom School is true to its mission. We walk the walk. I also love that everyone smiles at each other in the hallways, from students to parents, faculty, and staff. It’s just a happy place to be. I love Rodeph Sholom School’s commitment to Social Justice and Israel. I love the connection that the clergy has with each child and how Congregation Rodeph Sholom (CRS) and Rodeph Sholom School are intertwined to create a meaningful and committed Jewish learning community. The cooperation amongst faculty and staff is just a joy.
Other things to know about me:
I was born in Brazil, where I first started teaching at the Local Jewish Day school in my hometown of Porto Alegre. I made aliyah with my husband, Neco, and for 13 years lived in a kibbutz in Israel, where I taught kindergarten and 1st grade. My family moved to the Israeli town of Beer Yaakov, where I taught 1st grade for many years, and then continued teaching Hebrew through 9th Grade. I moved with my family to the U.S. in 2005, where I enjoy teaching Hebrew, Tefilah, and Jewish Studies at Rodeph Sholom School. I am a soccer fan, and never miss a New York Red Bulls game. I live in White Plains with my husband and two dogs.
