Rachel Nagorsky

Rachel found her way to Kavana when her son started at the Gan in 2016. She has worn many hats at Kavana, helping in the office, leading family hikes and now as the inaugural Shabbat Tinker Gan educator. She is excited to share her love for Jewish early childhood education with the Tinker-Gan community. When she’s not leading Tinker-Gan, you can find Rachel geeking our on birds and tress of the PNW or cooking up a storm in her kitchen.
