A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:

My name is Tracy Cranson, and I am so fortunate to be the Head of the Religious School at TTS. I

have been involved in Jewish education since, well, forever! I was brought up with a Conservative

Jewish education from a Jewish day school, which availed me the opportunity to learn Hebrew,

Torah, and rituals at a very young age, giving me a solid foundation for an eventual career in Jewish

education. In my role as Head of School, I oversee the curriculum and assure that our students are

getting the best support for their individual needs. I currently teach our 6th and 7th grade students,

and I have the honor of tutoring our B’nai Mitzvah students. In the “real world,” I practice civil

litigation, and I am the proud mother of a 15 year old son, Jacob. My heart and soul feed on Judaism,

and I am grateful for the chance to share that with our TTS students, families, and congregation. 

​

 

The Religious School at Temple Tiferet Shalom offers classes for students beginning in kindergarten up through Confirmation in tenth grade. Our school is a vibrant place for learning about and fostering a love of Judaism. 

​

Under the supervision of our staff, graduates of our school not only assist in the classroom, but also act as Hebrew reading tutors and work one-on-one with students.
