Megan Usow, our Director of Youth and Family Programming always feels privileged to be able to teach families how create Jewish experiences.

Megan grew up in Boca Raton and attended The High School at Donna Klein Jewish Academy. After a year at Pace University in New York City, she completed her bachelor’s degree with a major in English from Florida Atlantic University.

Megan has over ten years of experience working with Jewish youth in South Florida. Just recently, she was a part of the Jewish Teen Initiative at the Jewish Federation in West Palm Beach where she worked as a Youth Director and Program Coordinator. She is thrilled to be able to use her experiences as a Youth Director, teacher, songleader and friend to encourage all of the families at Kol Tikvah to find a meaningful connection to Judasim as part of Congregation Kol Tikvah’s Kehillah Kedosha, holy community. 

The book of Mishlei (Proverbs) tells us that we should “teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it”.  Megan’s goal as the Director of Youth and Family Programming is to plant the seeds that will help our children and families learn about and appreciate his or her role in the Jewish world.  Together, we can teach our children to be strong and responsible Jewish leaders.
