GET TO KNOW OUR Educational Director!

Ben Gould, Neshama Director

Ben Gould holds a degree in Anthropology and has been a Middle School Science and Math teacher for over 10 years and has been teaching in the Sacramento Jewish Community for over 20 years. As the grandson of Cantor Emeritus Lester Gould and Dorothy Gould, Ben has grown up in CBS’ various education programs. He is excited to lend his experience and work with Neshama’s Education team to lead and innovate our enrichment programs and curriculum, building upon the strong foundations set by Rabbi Nancy, Benjamin Yudin, and Ester Varano. In addition, he has a personal investment in this program as both of his daughters can be seen running through the halls of CBS on Sundays; L’Dor va-Dor (“From generation to generation”) is why he continues to be a part of our Neshama family.
