principals & staff The Hebrew Day School is blessed with a dedicated staff of teachers and educators that provide a warm and caring atmosphere in which the students can flourish. This demands considerable individual attention to each student’s abilities, needs, and inclinations. Our educators strive to direct each student through the stages of scholarly development in a manner enabling each stage to serve as a firm foundation for subsequent levels. We organize our curricula with a vision not only of where we expect our students to reach by the end of a well-defined program but also of how, and through what steps, we expect them to get there. meet rabbi goodman, dean Talk to anyone in this area and they will remember Rabbi Goodman. Remember how he helped them study Torah and guided them through their Bar-Mitzvah. He has helped guide the Jewish community through his many years of service. His name speaks simply and elegantly of his character. All would say he is a good man.

He attended Yeshiva College, earning a B.A in 1953 and then went on to earn a Masters Degree from Yeshiva University in 1960. Rabbi Goodman started his career as a Hebrew teacher in Brooklyn in 1953. In 1955, he moved to Sullivan County to become the Rabbi of Congregation Ohave Sholem. At the same time, Rabbi Goodman starting volunteering his time to be a teacher at the Hebrew Day School.
