 Our new educator, Carole Gould, is a longtime member of Congregation Beth Elohim and a Park Slope resident. She has two sons: Sam, 25, is a second year Columbia University law student and Ben, 21, is a senior at Emory University in Atlanta. Carole, is a 5th-year rabbinic student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. She holds a master’s degree in Jewish education from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. As part of her studies, she worked with the programming director at the 92nd Street Y, where her duties included organizing the Y’s annual family Hanukkah and Purim celebrations, and working on a new Shabbat initiative. She has taught in nearly all the Brownstone Brooklyn synagogues: Beth Elohim, Kolot Chayeinu, Brooklyn Heights Synagogue and Kane Street Synagogue. She has taught children from preschool age through high school about Bible, Hebrew, holidays and more. She has taught adult classes on Jewish philosophers and Shabbat, and led Rosh Chodesh women’s learning groups. She has led a weekly Shabbat morning minyan at Beth Elohim for nearly 10 years. Her educational philosophy is focused on experiential learning: creative, interactive, hands-on programming for children and families. First Friday Family Shabbat will be an important part of this year’s program. We encourage all congregants to join us on the first Friday of the month as our students help to lead the service. Carole will be working in tandem with her friend and classmate Dr. Ann Landowne, our former educator, to ensure a smooth transition
