R. Isaiah Wohlgemuth

"Rabbi Wohlgemuth began his teaching career at the Maimonides School in 1945. As he and some 750 graduates recall, the highlight of his love and warmth in teaching was his Be'urei Hatefillah (A Guide to Jewish Prayer) course, affectionately known as "BH." His philosophy of teaching is simple: "You have to love the child, then the child learns to love you and wants to learn everything from you.""

Reflecting on his own teaching over the years, Rabbi Wohlgemuth recalled: "I vowed I would never cause a Jewish child any anguish or sorrow," in remarks at a 1990 school banquet in his honor. "I tried in all my teaching career to become a friend of my students - never to punish them, but to encourage them with kindness and friendship, and with a sense of humor, that they may enjoy their studies."
