“The New Orleans Jewish Day School laid the foundation for what is now a career in Jewish Education. The day school is where I gained skills to be proficient in text, prayer and Jewish History, and a place that connected me to a people with thousands of years of tradition and history. My passion for Jewish living and drive for continued Jewish learning would not have been possible without the Jewish educationthat I received at the New Orleans Jewish Day School.”

Jodie graduated with her Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and received a dual Masters in Jewish Education and Hebrew Bible from the Jewish Theological Seminary. She now works as the Teen Engagement Consultant and Project Manager for the Jewish Education Project in NYC.

“My experiences at the Day School have inspired me throughout my scholastic career. From reading Harry Potter in Kindergarten to wiring a cardboard house with lightbulbs and switches in 4th grade, the drive that I learned during day school – to be curious, work hard, and find the joys in learning – have been invaluable to my successes in high school, college, and law school.”
