The Jewish Educators Assembly (JEA) is the leading professional association for Conservative/Masorti education professionals. Its membership includes full-time and part-time education directors, early childhood education directors, youth directors, clergy-educators, university and seminary students, and supplementary (Hebrew) schoolteachers.
“This honor is a well-deserved recognition of Dr. Berkowitz’s dedication, passion, and leadership in Jewish education, said Rabbi David Steinhardt, Senior Rabbi of B’nai Torah Congregation. “Dr. Berkowitz’s success is a reflection of B’nai Torah—a place where education is valued, where tradition and innovation come together, and where lifelong learning thrives.”
A wife, mother of four and proud grandmother of two, Dr. Berkowitz joined B’nai Torah Congregation in 2004 as Education Director of the Religious School. She had served as Education and Program Director at Beth Sholom Synagogue in Memphis, Tennessee prior to joining B’nai Torah. Dr. Berkowitz is also a founding faculty member of Camp Ramah Darom, has served as Rosh Chinuch for twenty summers, and represented Camp Ramah Darom at national conferences.
“I have spent over 21 years doing my best to make the Mirochnick Religious School the heart of heart of B’nai Torah by shaping meaningful learning experiences for our students and families,” said Dr. Berkowitz. “I am thrilled to accept this incredible honor and look forward to continuing to make an impact on our community and beyond.”
Dr. Berkowitz earned an M.A. in Public Administration and Education from Brooklyn College and pursued studies in Jewish Education at Siegal College. She was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Education Pedagogy from the Jewish Theological Seminary. She is the former chair of the Education Directors Council of South Palm Beach County and most recently served as the executive vice president of the JEA.
