My name is Leah Kurinsky, I grew up in Brooklyn, NY & graduated Beth Rivkah Teachers Seminary in 2001 with degrees in Judaic Studies & Education. I am the proud mom of six wonderful children and Co-direct Chabad at the Beaches with my incredible husband Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky.

 My love for bringing joy to children through Jewish education started as a teenager working or directing camps in Coconut Grove, Buffalo, W. Hartford, England, Estonia, St. Petersburg and Brazil. My passion for Hebrew School began when I directed the Hebrew School in Chabad of Mid-Suffolk until moving to Ponte Vedra in December of 2003 to open Chabad at the Beaches. 

I am passionate about joyful Jewish education. I love to encourage teaching in such a manner that kids are enjoying themselves so much they don't even realize how much they are learning! Watching the kids walk into Hebrew School with a bounce in their step  and a sparkle in their eye is one of the things I'm most proud of at the Beaches Hebrew School.  

The Chabad Hebrew School is now welcoming new students; no synagogue membership is necessary to enroll. Children will be instilled with feelings of pride and affection for their heritage and the land of Israel with an innovative and stimulating hands-on program. It’s a Hebrew school where kids experience Judaism in a creative and fun atmosphere!

Chabad Hebrew School features a challenging, fun and innovative curriculum. Highly qualified educators help Judaism comes alive for our students through active learning and hands-on activities. Special events include Shabbatons and Parent-Child Learning Days.
