Let the Fun Begin: Experience the fun of Mah Jongg with Instructor Sharon Katz

 One Bam! Two Dot! Three Crack! Calling all beginners who want to understand what the mah jongg craze is all about. Join the ranks of enthusiasts who are reaping the social and intellectual benefits of playing this challenging tile game. Players will be exposed to the basics: identifying tiles, interpreting the mah jongg card, setting the table and dealing, and passing tiles. There are many rules to play mah jongg; unfortunately, it’s not the type of game one can sit and play the first time. If folks are interested, future sessions can be scheduled for additional instruction and supervised play.  

Sharon Katz has a Master’s in Education from Boston University and an undergraduate degree from Brown University. She has worked with children and adult learners for 30 years. Sharon has taught Elementary Math, Reading Comprehension, Written Expression, and Executive Functioning Study Skills at independent Jewish day schools in RI, CT and MA. She has lived in Needham with her family for the past 16 years. Sharon is a game enthusiast who loves to read, practice yoga (especially on the beach) and take walks with her dog. She has played mah jongg for 15 years, and has taught more than five hundred people to play, including during the pandemic via Zoom. Sharon is thrilled to fuse her passion for the game of mah jongg with her professional training as an educator.
