Meet Shira

Growing up in Vancouver’s Jewish community, I was deeply involved in Jewish school and summer camp! After moving to Montreal, I continued my engagement by teaching Torah school during university and working with the Y post-graduation in both the Jewish Life and fitness departments. As a Jewish educator for Ivri Anochi, I am excited to inspire and learn from the next generation of Jewish youth, bringing innovative and dynamic approaches to our shared traditions!

“My daughter left each class so excited to tell me what she had learned that day – including new stories and facts about her Jewish identity and her developing love for Israel. Thank you, Ivri Anochi, for providing us with a comfortable space for our daughter to learn and connect with our Jewish community!”

– Tal Erdman, parent of 2021-2022 participant

“We use a hands-on, pluralistic approach to Jewish holidays and traditions. Our focus is on teaching tradition, culture, and values by doing and reflecting,”

– Keren Ludvig, Chief Program and Community Engagement Officer.

Financial aid is available as fees will never be a reason for any family to opt-out of participation in this or any program at the Y.
