In this episode, we interview Chaim Respes. He is not only my cousin, but also a Jewish educator who has taught various ages. He currently teaches Hebrew high school students and leads them on their yearly trip to Israel. Chaim also runs prayer services at Congregation Beth El in Voorhees, New Jersey with children from kindergarten up to sixth grade.

Gems:

• Small bits of wisdom can inspire students to want to learn more.
• Sometimes our students need to hear from other people.
• Our history is relevant today.
• We pray in Hebrew, however, its important to understand what we're reading.
• Be mindful of age group when teaching, whether about G-d or other topics.
• Allow children to express wonder and creativity.
• Encourage our children to develop their Jewish identity.
• Be flexible.
