My name is Drake and I enjoy board and card games, playing with my baby, and eating
chocolate peanut butter ice cream. I love playing Pokemon and the Percy Jackson
series. I have two dogs - one that loves giving kisses and styles my hair for me, and one who is big enough to ride like a pony.
I think the best Jewish holiday is Sukkot, because you get to be outside all the time. I
love coming to shul, but would much rather be in class than sitting still in services. I'm
excited to teach this year, and I hope my students have as much fun as I will.

My name is D.Marcos (he/him).  When I’m not teaching at Beth Jacob I work in the IDEAL Center of the Science Museum of Minnesota, teaching professional development workshops on inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. I have a lot of passions I love to talk about, including drawing dinosaurs, Hebrew calligraphy and restoring Torah scrolls, playing with his kids, and having deep conversations about Jewish identity. I am excited to teach at Beth Jacob once again!

Shalom! My name is Dalia Davidson (he/him). I grew up in Evanston, IL which is a suburb just outside Chicago. I am currently a sophomore at Macalester College studying education. In high school I taught at the local chabad hebrew school. I also spend my summers at Habonim Dror Camp Tavor as a counselor. My passion is working with kids and creating a joyous relationship with Judaism so I'm super excited for what this year brings.

Shalom! My name is Barb Staub. My husband Don Mitchell and I live near the St Croix river in Scandia. We have four children and one grandchild. We also have a dog, Toba. As of 2020 I've retired; previously I had worked at HealthPartners and Central Pediatrics as a pediatrician. I've been a member of Beth Jacob since 2009 and had my bat mitzvah here in 2017. I'm excited to join the teaching team again this year.

I have taught every age from preschool through high school and beyond, and have served in many capacities in informal education settings as well, including Youth Director and Camp Assistant Director. I am currently the Youth Director at Beth Jacob.  I enjoy swimming, gardening, cooking, and do not enjoy Global Pandemics. The main idea of the ethics class (spoiler alert!) is that Judaism should help you think differently and make decisions about things that are important to you in your day-to-day life (but you still have to come to class to learn the details).

Since the year before my bar mitzvah at Beth El Synagogue (then in Minneapolis), I’ve been involved teaching and tutoring Judaica. Although I’m officially retired, I now teach and tutor youth and adults at three synagogues in the Twin Cities and serve as a cantorial soloist at a synagogue in Rochester, MN.  I have a master’s degree in education with focus in psychological counseling. My husband Keith and I have a home in Plymouth, where our dog Oliver allows us to live with him.
