Welcome to Havurah! Meet the teachers!

Each week we will be posting reflections, ponderings, ''Aha!' moments and lots of fun photos from our Havurah meetings. Let's start by meeting this years Pre-K teachers, Ani and Brigitte! 


My name is Brigitte Reisman Moreno--I am a native New Yorker currently getting my Masters Degree in Museum Education at Bank Street College of Education. I am PASSIONATE about arts education and the power of expression in children's education. After graduating from Hunter College with a degree in Studio Art, I have spent the past three years working in museums, including the Rubin Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum, where I still freelance for Family Programs. I am also student teaching as a part of my fieldwork for General Education certification, which I love! I am so excited to be a part of the Havurah family this year and can't wait to continue building this amazing community!


My name is Anielle Fredman--I am a recent graduate of Vassar College where I studied religion, music, and education. I have a passion for Jewish stories, songs, rituals, and traditions, and have spent recent years in educational settings with young children. In addition to teaching at the JCC Havurah, I am teaching downtown at a progressive synagogue called the New Shul as well as working with Bar- and Bat-Mitzvah students in preparation for their personal ceremonies. I plan to eventually go back to school for a masters/PhD in child psychology/development, but am enjoying a breath of fresh air from academia. For now, I am dwelling in settings that feel much more like home--in the classroom with little people beginning their Jewish journeys. Welcome to Havurah!
