Ali Moss
Ali Moss (she/her/hers) is looking forward to returning to the CDT Religious school staff for her seventh year! When she is not teaching about the Jewish holidays to Kitah Alef, she spends her days teaching Preschool/PreK at Nashoba Brooks School in Concord. Ali’s passion for Jewish life and learning was formed in the small Reconstructionist congregation where she grew up, and later cemented during the years she worked at Camp JRF (now Camp Havaya). While Ali is a Philadelphia native, who still proudly cheers for the Eagles, she loves her adopted Boston-area home and the community here. She can’t wait for another great year with CDT first graders!
Curriculum Overview
The Aleph Curriculum “Jewish Time” introduces students to the cycle of the Jewish year, including the weekly cycle of Shabbat, lunar based monthly calendar, and the holidays that flow through the year. The students learn the stories and themes of the holidays, as well as the holidays’ agricultural connections to the year’s seasons in the land of Israel.
