“I felt the conference was uplifting and revitalizing. To spend two days with my counterparts from over 50 nationwide schools was amazing. I gleaned so much from our conversations and sessions that I hope to implement to make our school even stronger. I’m already looking forward to next year’s conference!”
Dov Shandalov, Hillel Torah, Chicago
“It is incredibly helpful to have an extensive network of Jewish day school professionals sharing their experiences, processes, and knowledge. Many schools, irrespective of size, face similar challenges, and having the ability to easily share information and best practices is a powerful resource for schools. I would encourage all Jewish day schools to take part in the wonderful programs being offered by the Torah Educators Network.”
Stuart Gasner, Kohelet Yeshiva, Philadelphia

Rabbi Ari Ginian, Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island
“It was an invaluable experience to sit in a room with 60 people who have the same or similar position in Jewish day schools across the country. I now have 60 new people with whom to network and share ideas. The professional development sessions focused on key areas of business operations and management giving me fresh perspectives and solutions to implement at work.”
Marcy Kalnitz, Torah Day School, Atlanta
“The conference was great. It is important and resourceful to connect with, and share ideas with, fellow Executive Directors from yeshiva day schools around the country. We all learn from each other and can implement our shared ideas to benefit our own yeshivot.”
Ephi Strazynski, Yeshiva Har Torah, Little Neck, NY
The conference was a tremendous opportunity to share ideas and questions with peers that deal with the same issues as I do everyday. I was able to ask leaders from completely different schools questions about capital campaigns, and found their responses insightful. I have already implemented changes in my reporting structure to better reflect best practices that were discussed at the conference. Can't wait till next year.”
Rabbi Deon Nathan, Torah Day School, Dallas
“It was a pleasure to attend this much-needed conference. With so many different yeshivas and heads of school in attendance, we all had the opportunity to exchange our ideas and practices that are successful in our institutions. It was a chance to hear what works and what doesn’t, and we all owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to Rabbi Tirschwell for his hard work.”
Ari Solomon, HAFTR
