Tonight 25 of our teachers took a class with Rabbi Cohon on Judaism. At the beginning of the class we went around and talked about our own religious background. I was amazed to hear of the religious diversity of our teaching staff. We have teachers with Jewish, Mormon, Catholic, Muslim, and Protestant backgrounds. I am really proud that we have this diversity, yet we are a Jewish school where children learn about Judaism from this unique group.
In our school we have many Jewish families as well as a wide diversity in both religious and cultural backgrounds. It is exciting to me to know that not only all of our children graduate from our school knowing a lot about the Jewish religion and having an appreciation for it; so do our teachers (and parents for that matter).
