| Youth Group Director Biography |
Jana Schwartz joined Temple Beth Rishon in 2004 as our first full-time Youth Director. Since then, Jana has infused our Youth Group program with such positive energy, that the number of children involved has increased six times over! Jana’s infectious smile and philosophy of inclusion have greatly enhanced TBR’s youth activities. "Sometimes finding enrichment comes hard, my hope is that the kids can gain as much from me, as I do from them.
Graduating from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a B.A in Sociology, and a minor in Substance Abuse, Jana taught in the Fort Lee School District, assisting students with Special needs prior to joining our staff. Her experience in teaching children prepared her well for handling the dozens of YJ kids who visit her office.
For the past 2 summers, Jana increased her responsibilities to include the role of Camp Director for the TBR Summer Camp. This year, she will be managing the “Mom & Tot” program as well. Jana was recently married and lives in River Edge with her husband, Josh.
