Orah Minder
Doctoral Fellow

Orah Minder graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 2006 with a dual major in English and religion. She then went on to pursue a Masters of Education at Lesley University. She taught for four years at the South Area Solomon Schechter Day School, now Kehillah Schechter Academy. Orah wrote and taught her own English curriculum to middle school students. She spent four summers at Middlebury's Bread Loaf School of English and completed her Masters of English there in August of 2010.

Orah will be studying English education in the Jewish day school here at Brandeis. She is specifically interested in how Jewish day schools teach Jewish American literature and how such texts impact the formation of a Jewish American identity in day school students.
