At PSU, I was fortunate to connect with the academic study of Judaism at the right time and the right place.  The close relationships I was able to build with the dedicated faculty, the study of modern Hebrew and unique course offerings of the department prepared me to begin a rewarding career as a Jewish educator.

After graduating in 2015 Adam went on to complete his Masters degree and is currently a professional Jewish educator.
