Born and raised on the Central Coast, Adam has been involved in the formal and informal Jewish education of young people since the age of 19. His passion as a Jewish educator developed over his many years of leadership in the Netzer youth movement, and was strengthened by his time on the Machon Israel program. A Jewish Studies teacher at Emanuel School since 2000, Adam has taught both primary and high school students and runs Jewish life events for the school community. He is now the Head of Jewish Life Primary School, a role that gives him daily nachas from nurturing his students Jewish identity and learning.
