Brooke Fisher, Director of Family Life + Religious School Director
I am excited be on an amazing journey with all the awesome children, teens, families and community members of Nevei Kodesh. I am currently working towards a Master of Jewish Education with an emphasis in experiential education at Hebrew College, where I am a Legacy Fellow. Last summer, I had the opportunity to design, create and direct Kids Kallah on behalf of Aleph Alliance for Jewish Renewal at CSU. My additional experience is in curriculum development, teaching, classroom management, creating organizational systems and marketing. I recently completed my 6th year as Religious School Director for Har Shalom in Fort Collins. Developing and fostering an innovative Religious School and family life programs while learning with so many bright students, enthusiastic staff and wonderful families is what I love. I am excited to bring connections, experiential opportunities and magical Judaism to the Nevei Kodesh community.
