Grades 2 & 3 — Julie Kievit

I come from an extremely large Jewish family from New York, and moved to Hampton Roads 2 years ago with my husband and 2 daughters. I grew up very involved in my synagogue, my mom was a Sunday school teacher and an active member of Hadassah. I attended a UJA federated Camp Louemma in Sussex NJ from age 10 to 18. When I moved to Virginia Beach, I wanted to find a schul that felt like “home” and I felt that way as soon as I walked into Temple Emanuel.   Along with teaching Sunday school, I enjoy yoga, spending time with family, and the beach. I love living in Virginia Beach and experiencing all it has to offer!
