Hershl Hartman has been providing a secular Jewish education to kids and adults in the Sholem Community for more than 50 years. Rather than Judaism, his focus is “Jewishness.”

Hartman began his Jewish education in the Bronx at age 5. He studied Jewish culture, history and Yiddish literature after school and on weekends, eventually graduating with university-level degrees in Yiddish Journalism and Jewish Education. (The only other graduate at the time with both degrees, May Stein, later became his wife.)
