He is looking forward to a year of curiosity, creativity, and connection as he explores with his students what it means to be a Jew and to be a mensch. Max brings joy and intention to his teaching, creating a welcoming classroom where every child can grow in their Jewish identity and values.
Outside the classroom, Max loves spending time with his family and their dog Ralph, playing board games, going to the theater, and recharging in nature.
