Kevah Group Topics: Bible, Topics in Jewish Thought

Tamar is originally from Cape Town, South Africa. She moved to Israel after high school and has taught her favorite subject, Hebrew Bible, for 12 years in various locations, schools and institutions.  She taught Middle and High-Schoolers for seven years at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School and adults in the Florence Melton program in Rockville, MD. Since moving to San Francisco, she has been teaching Hebrew Bible at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay, in the Yesod program at Congregation Emmanu-el and for Kevah. While she has far too many favorite topics to mention, it is safe to say that biblical narratives and the process of reading and interpreting them are her delight.

In her spare time, Tamar likes training for marathons and finding routes in San Francisco where hills are not included.
