1) Tell us something about yourself.

I'm a mother of 2 day school students. For them, school is really their second home, and perhaps my deep involvement in the school has something to do with that – we all spend so much time there, and thinking about it when we're not! Their growing and developing within the Jewish community has educated my husband and me as well, especially since we are not ‘products’ of day schools ourselves. I love puzzles, most kinds, but especially word games.

2) Why do you believe that Jewish day school education is important?

Jewish day school education is about educating the “whole person.” A day school influences the way that children evolve as people, and it provides the kind of experiential learning that you only get from fulfilling mitzvot and generally incorporating Jewishness into your day to day life. I believe that to graduate from a Jewish day school is to take flight into the world with the confidence and knowledge of your citizenship in the world and the responsibilities that that entails.

3) What strengths do you bring to the RAVSAK board?

In joining the RAVSAK board, I bring a combination of day school leadership experience, business skills and entrepreneurial spirit. Having worked in the hi-tech sector during an exciting and powerful time, I feel a kinship with the pivotal moment of growth for RAVSAK as day school movement mentor and advocate.

4) Do you have a favorite Jewish teaching?

Tikkun olam is one of my favorite Jewish teachings because it continually breaks us out of our daily personal concerns and reminds us to focus on all of humankind. ♦
