We set out with a bold mandate – find a candidate that would best align with our NEJA school community and aspirations. We sought a leader with experience driving schoolwide excellence in academics, with a track record of effective and efficient management of resources and robust implementation of supportive and nurturing professional development programs, and with a vision to bring teams together around a shared vision and mission. We sought a leader who would serve as a role model for the values, passions, and ideals that anchor our Torah communities. Mrs. Eisenman is all of these things. She is passionate and principled, committed to building community and acting with a holistic vision of education. She comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. We are confident that she can help lead NEJA forward – actualizing our mission to provide excellence in Judaic and General education and giving our students the tools to be engaged members of society and the Jewish people.
