About Abby

Abby is a community Jewish educator, facilitator and lifecycle officiant with over 20 years of experience in Jewish education. She is also the founder and lead educator of Judaics Tutoring NYC, through which she and her talented team of educators work with curious learners of all ages and stages, helping to expand their knowledge of all things Jewish while deepening their connection to Jewish text, history, and practice in ways that are uniquely meaningful to each of them. 

Abby teaches adults at the 92NY, the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, the  Center for Conversion to Judaism and My Jewish Learning.

Prior to founding her own independent teaching practice, Abby taught middle school Tanakh (Bible) and Mishna (Rabbinics) at Schechter Bergen County and served in various programmatic roles in Jewish education.

Abby is passionate about facilitating unique, text-based Jewish learning experiences for adults who may be new to Jewish study but wish to rigorously explore Judaism on an advanced level. She creates and teaches individualized curricula for Jewish communal professionals who are working to deepen their knowledge of Jewish content in connection to their growth as Jewish communal leaders. She also coaches and mentors new education entrepeneurs.

Abby recognizes and deeply appreciates that in the 21st century, we approach Jewish text and tradition with our unique narratives and sets of choices. Jewish learning is perhaps, for many of us, the deepest and most authentic way to connect in the post-modern era. Learning is a core Jewish practice, through which we place the highest possible value on curiosity, openness and growth in a Jewish context and beyond.

Clients, colleagues and students describe Abby as passionate, knowledgeable, creative, empathetic, and deeply committed to each individual’s learning journey.

With the combination of a traditional Jewish background and academic training in Judaic studies, Abby is poised to support a highly diverse group of learners. Abby earned a BA in history from Stern College, Yeshiva University, an MA in Judaic studies from The Jewish Theological Seminary and rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Dr. Tzemah Yoreh. When Abby is not learning or teaching, she hikes and spends time outdoors as often as possible.
