The Jewish Education Experience Podcast
The Jewish Education Experience Podcast by Yasminah and Ari began with the goal to uncover gems of wisdom with Jewish educators from around the world. The podcast features interviews with Jewish educators outlining their stories, tips of the trade, advice, support, and insights. We hope this podcast will assist educators at every stage of their journey - those who are just beginning and those who have dedicated their lives to this vital profession that is Jewish Education.

72: Teaching Literacy With Nechamy Segal
Nechamy Segal is the Founder and Lead English & Hebrew Specialist of Scenic Route Literacy and Hebrew Scouts. Drawing on her experiences and professional training as a classroom teacher, special education coordinator, clinical interventionist, graduate-level professor of reading, and mom of six, Nechamy provides a perfect blend of academic structure with a nurturing sensitivity.
Nechamy loves long nature walks in Prospect Park (the source of inspiration for the name Scenic Route Literacy). She is passionate about reading and literacy, and her idea of bliss is when there’s a book in everyone’s hand.
