Barb brings over 20 years of experience in Jewish education and holds the Reform Movement’s designation of Reform Jewish Educator (RJE). With a background in curriculum development, educational leadership, and mentoring, Barb is passionate about helping learners find their unique voice in Jewish life and learning. She works closely with families and faculty to ensure each learner’s needs are met with care and excellence

Gabby graduated from Ithaca College in 2024. During her time at Ithaca, she was the president of IC’s Hillel and worked on campus in the Office of Student Engagement as a Student Leadership Consultant. After graduation, she moved back home to the Philadelphia suburbs and spent the year working as a Paraeducator at an elementary school. Ready to escape the cold, she moved to Miami and joined the Temple. From attending her synagogue’s religious school to her time as a camper and counselor at Habonim Dror Camp Galil, Jewish community and education have helped shape who she is today. Gabby is excited to be part of creating enriching and joyful Jewish experiences for our youth!
Our teaching team includes:
Each teacher is carefully selected for their passion for working with children, their expertise in their subject area, and their commitment to Jewish values. Many of our staff are also full-time teachers in our Temple Beth Sholom Innovative School and/or involved in Temple life as community members.
Our office staff and teen Madrichol (assistants) work alongside our teachers to ensure all learners feel welcome and successful in our classrooms.
We believe in relationship-based education. Our educators take the time to get to know each learner – not just how they learn, but who they are. Through empathy, patience, and creativity, we help children grow into confident, capable, and curious Jewish learners.
Come visit a class, attend a family program, or schedule a conversation with our team. We’d love to get to know your family!
