Program staff

Anne Sendor, Program Coordinator

Anne Sendor has worked in Jewish education for over 25 years.  Most of the time, she spent in Early Childhood settings, with certificates in Special Education from Gratz College and Early Childhood from Hebrew College.  Realizing that she didn’t start early enough, she has recently started to work in Marriage Education, being trained through the PREP program.  Having watched Rabbi Klapper’s Summer Beit Midrash program flourish and grow over the last 11 years in her shul, the Young Israel of Sharon, she was excited to help in a more substantial way.  Some of her former kindergarten students have become SBM fellows, which has given her almost as much nachas as her grandchildren.
