The community honored part-time Jewish educators on Wednesday, June 6 at an event presented by the Jewish Life & Learning Department of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.

Barbara Parker presented Pittsburgh’s 2018 Harold Grinspoon Award for Excellence in Jewish Education to Sharon Serbin. Serbin held her grandson as she shared her perspective as a part-time Jewish educator. Serbin is currently in her 20th year of teaching at Adat Shalom Religious School and in her third year of teaching at Dor Hadash Religious School.

In Pittsburgh, the Barbara and Lester Parker Fund for a Jewish Future Endowment, an endowment of the Federation’s Jewish Community Foundation, supports the award.
