This fund honors Flossie Albert for having served almost four decades as a faculty member at Temple Sinai.  During her adolescent years she taught in the Hebrew School and subsequently at the Cyrus Adler Hebrew High School.  After completing her academic studies in education at Temple University and Gratz College, Flossie pursued a dual career in secular and Jewish education, the later of which remained anchored at Temple Sinai.  In 1968, she assumed the position of Director of the Gan, established the Dresher location in 1970, and operated the program until retiring in 1987.

          During the course of her tenure, the quality of the curricula she developed and implemented earned honors for the synagogue, and under her leadership, the United Synagogue of America presented the congregation with the Solomon Schechter Award for Excellence in Nursery Education and Programming.  The Gan was, and is, a major source of cultivating new synagogue members and many of Flossie's "graduates" are now married and members of the shul again.  When Flossie established the Gan, she was the one staff member with just 12 pupils; at her retirement, there were 160 children and 18 staff members.
