Amit Yom Iyun features Poupko

AMIT is holding its annual Yom Iyun, a day of learning for women by women, on Wednesday, July 26, in Cedarhurst. 

Dr. Shoshana Poupko, dean of students for the Ma’ayanot Yeshiva High School for Girls, in Teaneck, will be the keynote speaker. She will discuss “Me vs. We — Can We Sustain Both in Today’s World?” Poupko is a mehanekhet for 10th grade and a teacher of Jewish philosophy and Bible. 

Mimi Mehlman, the event chairwoman for the past 18 years, said AMIT’s Yom Iyun “began as an educational group with many prominent keynote speakers in Lido Beach and has grown exponentially over the years.”

“Hundreds of women come together to learn, as a chabura, many valued and insightful lessons from our Torah and beyond,” she said.

As a Jewish educator, Poupko’s experience and insight fits well with the mission of AMIT to provide cutting-edge education to Israeli children throughout Israel, many of whom live in the periphery and come from disadvantaged homes.

Yom Iyun will take place at Sephardic Temple, 775 Branch Blvd. in Cedarhurst, from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm.
