Dear Friends and Families,
The Education Director Search Committee is excited to invite you to meet our next candidate, Marc Silberstein, who will be joining us this weekend, March 24-26, to visit our community and teach/share his Torah and wisdom with us.

4th-7th grade Program: 10:15 am | Fishman Conference Room (adjacent to the Koplin/Borocoff Library)
Toddler-Pre-K Groove Shabbat with Mr. Michael: 11:15 am | Paradies Hall
If you are interested in joining one of the small group to interview Marc and learn about him, his educational philosophy, etc., please reach out to Marni Goldman at marnisgoldman@gmail.com - she will let you know the time slots that are available on either Saturday or Sunday.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family for this exciting continuation of our congregation's spiritual and educational journey.
As stated before, if you have thoughts or comments about Mrs. Wohl, our first candidate, please send them directly to Marni so the committee can hear your voice and take your thoughts into account.
We look forward to seeing you!

eet Candidate #3 - Marc Silberstein
Marc Silberstein was born in Atlanta, GA and grew up attending Ahavath Achim Synagogue. As a teenager, much of his Jewish identity was developed during his time at Camp Ramah and as a member of USY. Before attending Indiana University, Marc spent a year in Israel on the Nativ Leadership Program (where he met his wife). After graduating from Indiana, Marc packed up his car and moved to Colorado to hone his skills as a skier and a teacher. Marc spent two years serving as the Youth Director at Congregation Har HaShem in Boulder before moving to Jerusalem to attend the Pardes Educators Program. Once he completed his studies in Israel, Marc moved to Detroit and began working at the Frankel Jewish Academy of Metro Detroit, where he has had the chance to develop his craft as a Jewish educator. Along with his work, Marc began his work on an EdD at Gratz College, with a focus on Jewish education. Marc, his wife Shosh, and their dog Quinn have loved their time in Detroit, but are very excited for the opportunities that are ahead.
