Dear Friends:

I am excited and happy to share with you that after an extensive national search, Sheryn Cohen has been appointed as the new Director of Temple Shaari Emeth’s Early Leaning Center, effective July 1, 2019. Sheryn is currently the Co-Director of the ELC alongside Jayne Lieberman, and will assume the mantle of Director as Jayne retires.

The search committee, comprised of current and former ELC parents, educators, Board members, Rabbi Panken and myself unanimously concluded that Sheryn brought the right combination of knowledge, experience, energy and vision to the position.  Ms. Cohen brings an innovative approach to pre-school education in the Early Learning Center. She is fully versed in the developmental milestones of each age group and encourages each child to meet those milestones through a creative and explorative curriculum.

Sheryn and her husband, Doug Cohen, have been members of Temple Shaari Emeth since 2007, and live in Manalapan with their daughters, Rachel and Alyssa.  Sheryn has worked with the ELC, in various capacities, for nine years. In addition, she has been the Youth Advisor for YOSHE Seniors and Juniors.  We are excited to be able to work with Sheryn in her new position as Director of the Early Learning Center.

I encourage all Temple Shaari Emeth members to recommend the ELC to friends and family.  Guests are welcome to tour the Early Learning Center which serves children ages 6 months – 6 years. Classes begin with Parent & Me and continue through kindergarten. For more information, please contact Sheryn Cohen at scohen@shaariemeth.org ​​​​​​​ or 732-462-3264.

Please join me in welcoming Sheryn to her new position and wishing her success.
​​​​​​​
Sincerely,
 
Joan Fischer
President

We will start this exciting night at The Amazing Escape Room which is an activity where we can work together to solve problems, uncover clues, and crack codes in order to progress as a team. Teamwork is critical to succeeding! Games are challenging and very mentally stimulating, but don’t require physical exertion. Each room has a theme, so the atmosphere is fun and full of thrills. You’ll also have to work fast as you’ll only have 60 minutes to complete the room! 

Followed by dinner where we will have appetizers, pizza, beverages and wine.
