Ellen Kahn Froncek Creative Teaching Award Winners

Debra Erdheim

Rachael Markowitz

Sandra Newman

Debra Erdheim, Rachel Markowitz and Sandra Newman, teachers at Temple Beth El, were awarded the prize based on their submission of "The Jewish Life Cycle - The Jewish Wedding"

To teach Life Cycle to their seventh grade students, the three teachers created a program to teach the historical and halachic (Jewish law) background, minhagim (traditions) and Torah basis for the Jewish wedding.  The students create a Ketuba (Jewish marriage contract), a wedding Chupah (marriage canopy) and Kiddush cup.
