When you seek a thought partner with deep expertise, consulting gives you focused, flexible, one-on-one support. Whether you’re redesigning a family program, building a curriculum framework, figuring out how AI can support your team’s planning, or strengthening how your educators lead music with children, we work on what matters most to you, grounded in 25 years of practice and doctoral-level research in Jewish education.
How I Can Help
I consult across three areas of expertise, and most engagements draw on more than one. Your sessions are yours to use across whatever combination serves your goals. If you’re looking for support with songleading and music leadership specifically, the Songleading for Kiddos Support Squad is designed for exactly that.
AI Implementation and Coaching
I started using AI because I didn’t have enough hours in the day. As a single parent rebuilding a business, I needed tools that could extend my cognitive capacity: drafting, planning, organizing, building systems I couldn’t build alone. AI became part of how I work, and now I know how to leverage it. Musicians, educators, and nonprofit professionals have always been under resourced. I help my clients build the skills they need to work smarter, not harder.
That practical foundation led to formal training. I completed several small business development programs in 2022 and 2023, and from there moved into professional AI work. I now create curriculum materials and coach professionals on AI adoption at ThoughtLeap (thoughtleap.ai), an AI implementation firm that helps organizations integrate these tools into real workflows.
I bring that same experience to Jewish communal settings. I help educators, cantors, rabbis, and institutional leaders at synagogues, JCCs, and day schools figure out how AI can support the work they’re already doing: session planning, curriculum development, communication, documentation, administrative tasks. I also build custom GPTs and help teams develop enough fluency to use AI confidently and independently. The goal is always practical: save time, do better work, and keep the focus on the people and purpose at the center of your role.
Curriculum Design
Building or refining Jewish early childhood and music-centered, developmentally appropriate curriculum for Jewish holidays, Shabbat, Torah themes, and more. Whether you need a full unit framework or help strengthening what you already have, I bring a structured approach grounded in how children actually learn.
Family Engagement
Designing, implementing, and or/assessing programs, services, and experiences that meaningfully connect families with young children to Jewish life. This includes Tot Shabbat, Baby & Me, intergenerational worship, family programs, and the communication systems that sustain them.
How It Works
Consulting is available in two packages. Purchase the one that fits your needs and schedule sessions through Calendly at times that work for you.
5 Session Project Package: $1,000
Best suited for focused projects, specific questions, or a short-term engagement. Ideal if you want to work through a defined challenge or get expert input on something already in progress.
10 Session Project Package: $1,800
Best suited for deeper work, ongoing partnership, or projects that need more room. Ideal for curriculum builds, program redesigns, institutional strategy, or AI implementation across a team.
Each session includes preparation, a scheduled meeting, and any follow-up work or resources that come out of our conversation. All sessions are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and can be used across any combination of the expertise areas listed above. Sessions are scheduled at your convenience through Calendly.
If at the end of your first session you don’t feel it’s the right fit, let me know and I’ll refund your full package cost.
Who I Support
This consulting is designed for education directors and program coordinators who want strategic support for their team or institution. It is also a good fit for cantors, rabbis, and clergy who lead family programming and want to strengthen their approach, songleaders and music specialists who want one-on-one guidance outside of a group setting, and institutional leaders exploring how AI can support Jewish education in practical, grounded ways.
If you’re not sure which package is right, or if you have questions about scope, email me or book a connection call and we can figure it out.
