Reflections on Rabbi Karp's Jewish Educational Leadership:
"Molly came to our education program with a lot of enthusiasm and ideas, yet respectful of our prior work there. She encouraged us to continue our successful curriculum pieces, making suggestions, not demands, where improvements could be made. Molly's door was always open for both professional and personal support. I also never felt judged when I had a question or needed a piece of information I did not have. Molly freely shared her wealth of knowledge and her insights. Molly always encouraged creative forms of teaching, stressing the importance of getting students involved and invested in their own learning. Her tone with staff and students is a gentle one, even when sharing criticism if necessary. I feel I learned a lot from Molly this year and appreciate her direction." Lisa
"I've had the pleasure of both working with and studying under Rabbi Karp. As an Education Director, Molly knows what she wants. She has a vision, creates relevant curriculum, and allows teachers to carry it out in their own style. Molly started the year asking teachers in each grade to fill out a Pacing Chart. It's a brilliant way to ensure teachers are "on the same page" and organize the material to be covered in every class. Molly is a supportive mentor who is behind her teachers one hundred percent. Her observations are always followed by useful feedback. She welcomes questions from teachers and is willing to work with parents in the best interest of a student. I feel that I can contact Molly anytime and elicit a meaningful response." Barbara
"I have had the pleasure of knowing Molly as a principal and as an adult education teacher. As a principal, she is extremely professional, knowledgeable (in both educational psychology and religious education techniques) and caring. I am a teacher with over 40 years experience, and I found Molly to be one of the best principals I have ever worked for - a true professional. " Rochelle
"Molly's deep understanding of people, vast knowledge of Judaism and her sensitivity to different learning styles has contributed to her exceptional leadership as Religious School Director. It's been a delight and honor to serve with her... and explore innovative ways of developing creative Jewish educational experiences for children and families. I am especially in awe of her verbal communication ability. She has much to offer ..." Nancy
"It has been my pleasure to work as a classroom teacher for Rabbi Molly Karp ... in the Religious School's high school program. Molly is an outstanding school director who combines all of her talents in everything she does: her love of Judaism, outstanding organizational skills, quest to always move to a higher place, and ability to see the holy spark in everyone... students, parents, teachers, and co-clergy. She makes the school environment a warm, welcoming, inclusive place where learning can happen because the learners and educators are supported and can do their best. I have seldom worked for or with an educator whose knowledge and self confidence was so secure that he or she could allow for the faculty to shine to their fullest potential in the way that Molly does. I have also observed the way she works with each of the faculty members to promote professional learning so that they continue to reach new levels, while she herself continues to learn and to teach, both in and outside the synagogue walls. Finally, I would like to note that I have known Molly for quite some time and I have never known anyone more dedicated to Jewish education as a teacher and as a learner. I recommend Rabbi Molly Karp without any reservation, and would be happy to provide additional anecdotal or written references at any time." Juliet
"Rabbi Molly Karp was not only our Religious School Principal, but a leader, friend, and sometime therapist. Rabbi Karp truly cares about the children. One of my children was a student of hers and the other worked for her in the office. She is truly a teacher who cares about her students and someone who cares about the people that work for her. When our family was going through some tough times, she went out of her way to make sure we were all okay. She could always be seen welcoming the children into her school and seeing them out and the end of the day. She is one of the few that when she asks you how you are doing, she really wants to know. " Marilyn
" ... Molly was a master of curriculum design and implementation. She often emailed other colleagues and me interesting articles or websites she found that related to our work. Though she had been teaching for many years, she was never content with merely teaching what she had previously taught; rather, Molly always sought to add new material to her curricula and happily shared her thoughts and sought feedback from others."
