Michelle S. Weinberg
About Our Education Director
I am so excited to be joining the staff at B’nai Chaim. I wanted to write a quick note to introduce myself to you. My name is Michelle S. Weinberg. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I went to Miami University and received by BS Ed.from Miami.
I moved shortly after graduating to the Atlanta, Georgia area. I received my Masters Degree in Education from Georgia State University in Atlanta. I taught in a Solomon Schechter Jewish Day School for three years, met my husband in Atlanta, and continued teaching in a school system in Woodstock, Georgia, in Cherokee County, that reminds me a lot of Douglas County where I am currently teaching.
I began teaching Hebrew School and Sunday school in Hamilton, Ohio while attending Miami University. In 1983, I continued teaching Hebrew and Sunday school at Temple Kol Emeth in Marietta, Georgia until 1997.
After moving to the Highlands Ranch area, I taught fifth and sixth graders for two years in the Judaic Department at Hertzl Jewish Day School, which is now the Denver Campus for Jewish Education before joining the staff at South Elementary in Castle Rock in the Gifted and Talented Program. I taught at both Temple Sinai and the HEA for several years. In 2000 I became the Principal of Congregation Beth Shalom and continued there until 2011. I have been tutoring for B’nai Mitzvah since 1984!
My husband Jeff and I are the proud parents of two adult children, Alison, who is 32 and Eric, who graduated from DU with his Masters in Accountancy and is 24 years old. Eric is an accountant with Western United Energy Surplus in Brighton, CO.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year. I am looking forward to meeting you soon.
