Who We Are
Ronni Metzger
Ronni Metzger was appointed principal of the PCS Hebrew School in 2011, only the second person to hold that position since the founding of the Hebrew School in 1997. As a Hebrew School teacher in Westchester for fifteen years, Ronni has taught every grade from first (alef) through seventh (zayin) and knows the Westchester Jewish community very well.
Ronni started her career in Jewish Education when she was a senior at college. (She had just come back from a semester studying in Israel.) She was asked to teach the children of Jewish professors on Sunday mornings. "It was quite challenging but very rewarding," Ronni says. "Both the students and I learned a lot and had a lot of fun!" After moving to Westchester, Ronni attended a two-year teacher certification program with WAHS (Westchester Association of Hebrew Schools). Ronni is also an attorney, and, needless to say, an inveterate learner. She cites classes taken at the Jewish Theological Seminary, which included a course in rare books; Genesis; and “Love in the Bible” as amongst her cherished learning experiences. Since she first started teaching, Ronni's goal was to imbue the love of Judaism to her students. She says: "As a teacher, I see it as my job to help educate our children and give them the tools they need to exemplify Jewish values and advocate for Jewish causes. It has always been my belief that each student is an ambassador for Judaism wherever life takes him or her. Teaching has become a love affair with me. I fall in love with my students and am fascinated to watch as they grow into the kind and caring people that they become. I have yet to be disappointed!" |
