Four named as JET fellows for 2026

Four emerging Jewish educators have been named as the 2026 fellows of JCA’s Jewish Educators of Tomorrow (JET) program.

They are Debs Shatari of Moriah College, Doron Lewin of Masada College, Talia Carr of Mount Sinai College and Yula Geredov of Kesser Torah College.

The JET program provides emerging educators with professional development, mentoring and practical experience aimed at broadening their experience and developing them as leaders.

It is funded by the JCA Esther and Zorach Balkind Fund, an endowment established through a bequest from their daughter, Joy Balkind, in memory of her parents.

JCA head of planning Shari Lowe said investing in future educators was an investment in the community.
