What attracted you to the Ziegler School?
needed a job in college and began to work as a music teacher in a few New York/NJ area Hebrew schools. I loved teaching and loved sharing Jewish music, and I began to write my own melodies. A friend connected me to a synagogue to lead services for the high holidays, and I loved being on the pulpit and crafting a Tefillah experience for the community. I continued to work and share music in synagogues and realized I loved leading people through their Jewish journeys, and wanted to move forward with mine as well, and so I decided to apply to rabbinical school at the Ziegler School.
