Our Teen Shabbat Lunch ‘n Learn program is led by Yosef Kadegan. It is designed for post- b’nei mitzvah students.
Born and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey, Yosef Kagedan attended Yeshivat Noam for elementary and middle school and Torah Academy of Bergen County (TABC) for high school. Growing up, he loved being involved in a variety of Jewish youth organizations including NCSY, Bnei Akiva, and HaZamir. Yosef then attended Yeshivat Eretz HaTzvi for his gap year in Israel, where he honed his Jewish learning skills and deep love of Israel.
He earned a B.A. in Psychology and Minor in Music from Rutgers University-New Brunswick, and a Master of Social Work degree; Yosef is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW).
While a Rutgers University undergraduate he was a member of their Jewish acapella group, and served as their Music Director from 2019-2020. He feels most connected to Judaism through music, as he is an avid and experienced Chazan and Ba’al Korei.
His favorite Jewish topics are Jewish History, Tanach, Jewish Philosophy, and Tefilah. Yosef has worked in a variety of educational settings and positions, from Archery Specialist at Moshava Ba’Ir New Jersey, to Counselor at Camp Middlesex, to General Classroom Paraeducator at a rural public middle school, to Upper Elementary Teaching Intern at Yeshivat Netivot Montessori.
