One of my fondest memories of Edmonton Talmud Torah is the lifelong friendships built through its close-knit community.
Growing up in a Jewish school creates a shared bond that stays with you—and today, I’m grateful to feel that same power while working in Jewish education.
What did you do after TT?
I attended Crestwood Junior High and Ross Sheppard High School, then pursued soccer internationally in Israel, Chile, and El Salvador.
I went on to earn a degree in Education from the University of Alberta, completed Canadian and European coaching certifications, and built soccer programs whileteaching English.
I served as an Athletic Director, moved into administrative leadership, and pursued a Doctorate in Leadership in Vancouver.
Along the way, I authored my book series Agents Amiss and now continue my work in Jewish education at Vancouver Talmud Torah (VTT)
In September 2025, Dan generously donated his book series, Agents Amiss, to the Edmonton Talmud Torah library. He hopes to one day visit TT to meet some students and read a chapter from one of his books!
TALMUD TORAH SOCIETY HAS ACTED AS A STEWARD OF JEWISH EDUCATION Since 1912
“Having a pluralistic non-denominational school that ensures immersion in Jewish education and Judaic values is fundamental to the future of our community. Talmud Torah has been a pillar of our community for over 100 years. The Society ensures that the foundations of a strong Jewish identity and involvement in the greater Jewish community are in place." -Stacey Leavitt-Wright, CEO Jewish Federation of Edmonton
