Five Teachers Who Deserve a Gold (Jewish) Star

September is back-to-school month. While many magazines focus on the cutest backpacks, fall fashions, and healthy lunches, we figured many of you are probably past that (or are collecting these tips for your kids). But that doesn't mean you don't love learning and opening your mind to new thoughts and discoveries. So this month we're featuring Jewish teachers who change the way we think by using out-of-the-box methods. There are so many options out there for cool Jewish classes; we hope to inspire you to seek one out in your own area.

Learning can be defined formally as the act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skills. In contrast, memory can define the capacity of storing, retrieving, and acting on that knowledge.
