Building schools, building futures.
Rebbetzin Hadassa Halpern serves as Executive Director of the Ronald S. Lauder Impact Initiative, where she leads work focused on strengthening Jewish day schools across the continent.
The Initiative's mandate is broad — from curriculum to leadership development to capacity-building — and the Rebbetzin's role brings to bear two decades of experience as both a community-facing Rebbetzin and an educator who has watched Jewish schools transform their communities.
Her work in this role has spanned schools in [draft — specific cities and partner institutions to be confirmed with the family], with particular attention to schools serving children of post-Soviet Jewish families — the next generation of those her husband taught in the Beit Midrash.
