Spence Weitzen

Garden Educator & Inchwormship Manager - Fairlawn, NJ

Spence loves to learn and teach Torah. He holds a Masters in Jewish Education from YU’s Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education, and he has taught both indoors and outdoors at several yeshiva day schools in the area, as well as at several Jewish summer camps. 

“I have always found religious comfort in the notion that there is such similar order and structure in the natural world as there is in our spiritual experiences. I love to unlock these lessons for the future generations of Klal Yisrael.”

Spence lives in Fairlawn, NJ with his wife and three children. His favorite vegetables are yellow and orange bell peppers. One of his best Purim costumes was recycling a cardboard box to dress up as an OtterBox.

Spence is also a big Disney parks enthusiast and particularly enjoyed his time at the greenhouse at Epcot.
