I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts from Excelsior College and a Master of Special Education from Daemen College, with certification in both General and Special Ed.
While waiting for an internship in another field, I agreed to substitute for a family friend’s first grade class. Mr. Isaac Fink zt’l, then principal of YTV, walked in to observe and offered me a position. The temporary position was intended to be a filler job, but I quickly realized that teaching was where I belonged. I enjoyed presenting challenging ideas in a way that the children could grasp them, then watching them produce well beyond expectation.
At Gesher Yehuda Yeshiva, we work with children with learning differences — bright children who struggle in a mainstream setting. We offer small, structured learning environments designed to meet individual needs. We are an academic program with highly trained special education teachers and therapists. Since 1994, our alumni have gone on to college, careers, and successful lives. All students deserve the education that best fits their needs.
