Ariella and Mendel Lazaros - Youth@ahavathtorah.org
We’ve been building youth programs for the last ten years. We moved to Englewood Summer of 2022 after seven years on the Upper West Side. For four years, we served as the Youth & Teen Directors at Lincoln Square Synagogue. Before LSS, we ran Youth for Pesach
programs in the Bahamas, Cancun, Mexico, and San Diego, California.
In NYC, Ariella taught children during their first classroom experience at My Little School: Tribeca. Ariella helped establish Kivun, an after school Jewish educational experience for students of Harlem Hebrew Charter School. Ariella taught fourth grade at the 92nd street Y, Montessori curriculum at the Goddard School, and served as the President of the ParentAssociation for Chabad Early Learning Center. When it’s not Shabbat, Ariella works as the Director of Admissions for the Moriah School.
Mendel just completed his Masters in Technology Management at Columbia University (22’) and serves as the Chief Development Officer for the Algemeiner Journal. Together, we have three beautiful daughters, Margot (6), Sarina (4), and Raquel (1) who can't wait to meet you in groups!
