Temple Emanuel Schools ECC Excellence Congratulations to the Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hill’s Early Childhood Center Team in being honored for providing exemplary Jewish education, once again!

Our very own Mojdeh Soleymani was chosen by the Builders of Jewish Education, formerly the Bureau of Jewish Education, to receive the prestigious Lainer Award.

In 1997, the late Simha and Sara Lainer, long-time supporters of Jewish education, established annual awards recognizing exemplary Jewish educators in early childhood and complementary Jewish education.

As one of only three recipients, Mojdeh will be presented with the distinguished early childhood educator award before hundreds of colleagues, including her entire ECC Team. Mojdeh is the third ECC Team Member, under the leadership of Stacy Kesner, to receive the award. Former ECC Award recipients included Carol Akiba and Lilya Aleksandrovskaya.

Congratulations again to the ECC and to all of our outstanding educational leaders who provide a strong and award-winning commitment to lifelong learning.
