“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.”

“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.”
