About Terri

Terri Goldsmith was an amazing person, filled with love for people, a passion for teaching children, and limitless creativity. She taught religious school at Temple Emanu-El for 30 years and she still remains in the hearts of her students as their favorite teacher. She designed engaging and memorable hands-on lessons to make learning fun for her students. She also worked as a teacher at Solomon Schecter Academy for over 30 years.
Terri was more than an educator at Temple Emanu-El. She received the Howard Ilson Memorial Award in 2006 for her many years of dedication to Temple Emanu-El, in the greater Jewish community, and beyond, through her many acts of loving kindness to others. She gave so much time, energy, and volunteer support to Temple Emanu-El's Shabbat onegs, fundraisers, and many other special events. She was never too busy to offer her magic touch.
