In Memory of Mrs. Dannie Grajower z"l

Edited and with a Foreword by Rabbi Isaac Rice


Hardcover, 216 Pages
Urim Publications, 2021


Dannie (Epstein) Grajower z"l was a remarkable and inspiring educator, pillar of her community, and beloved and devoted daughter, sister, wife and mother. Alei Deshe: Toughts on Jewish Education, produced in her memory, contains two sections. The first consists of essays on Jewish education from senior educators. The second presents curricula and class notes that Dannie used in her own teaching over the course of a number of years. It is our hope that this volume will serve as an inspiration and guide to current and future educators, as well as a testimony to the incredible impact that Dannie had on her students, her family and her community. May her memory be for a blessing.
