    Cardin was the most amazing high school--I had wonderful friends (including my now fiance!) and teachers and loved what I was learning. In high school was also the first time that I started thinking about becomming a rabbi---my rabbi in high school was amazing and had a huge influence on me. I am excited that he will be officienting our wedding!
  • Morah Rosen: an educator who has significantly impacted me

    Morah Rosen has been an incredible teacher, role model and mentor. I first met her in high school, she was teaching my English class. What I loved about Morah Rosen was how much passion she had for her subject. As Palmer wrote about, it was that passion that made her a good teacher. I always felt engaged in her classroom and I always felt included. Her teaching was creative and pushed us to work hard. Morah Rosen was the type of teacher who you wanted to work hard for because you liked her.
