She mentored new directors and teachers throughout the Jewish world and “Cordoba House,” a Muslim school in NYC. Tehilah received her MA’s in Jewish Education, and in Midrash/Biblical Exegesis from the Jewish Theological Seminary in NYC. She writes for various publications and is brought in to speak to churches, mosques, synagogues, and educational conferences on a variety of topics.
