Director of Jewish Education

\We are excited to introduce Alex Malanych, KI’s Director of Jewish Education.  Alex (they/them) brings a wealth of education and experience to this role, and will coordinate the day-to-day operations of our Sunday religious school, supervise teachers, communicate with parents, and oversee special programs.  

Alex has master’s degrees in both English (University of Vermont) and Jewish Education (Gratz College), and is currently a rabbinical student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia.  Over the summer, they have been working as the education director Camp Havaya, the Reconstructionist camp in the Poconos, and have just started as the student rabbi at Am Haskalah. 

Alex has a strong background in Jewish education as a teacher, youth advisor, education director, and prayer leader at various synagogues, Jewish summer camps, and college campuses.  Their focus on experiential learning will be especially valuable as KI looks to enhance our religious school program to make it more engaging for both students and families.
