Adam Carpenter – Head of Jewish Life Primary

Noah Klein – Primary Informal Jewish Life Educator

Introducing Noah Klein

We are excited to welcome Noah Klein and Olyvea Akres, two Emanuel Alumni who have joined the Primary team as Informal Jewish Life Educators. Noah and Olyvea are part of our exciting new team of alumni working in Jewish Life, in both  Primary and the High School.

This week, Noah introduces himself – Olyvea will have the opportunity in a future Ma Nishma edition:

Hi! 

My name is Noah Klein, I am currently studying Psychology and I am an Emanuel alumnus from the Class of 2019.

Over the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of serving as an informal Jewish Life educator for Years 3-6 – it has been an incredible experience so far! We have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time, including running several Shabbatot, hosting a Year 6 Leadership Camp and celebrating Purim together as a community. 

I have had the opportunity to meet all of the students and staff, and I feel incredibly welcomed by everyone. It’s particularly special to be back at Emanuel School, which I attended from Years K-12, and I am especially grateful for the warm reception I’ve received from my former teachers. 

Moving forward, the team is continuing to plan exciting activities, including our upcoming Pesach celebrations, where we’ll be running Seders and creating a fun Pesach video. I am excited for what the future holds in this role and I am grateful to be a part of such an amazing team.
