Dr. Abraham Gannes and his wife, Miriam, both devoted their careers to helping students develop a love of lifelong Jewish learning. In keeping with their tradition, our goal at the Abraham and Miriam Gannes Religious School, is to help our students develop a positive Jewish identity and bring Judaism into their daily lives. There are many facets to achieving this lofty goal! |
