Alyssa fulfilled a lifelong dream when she and her family made Aliyah from Teaneck, NJ to Neve Shamir in the summer of 2022. After high school, Alyssa studied for a year in MMY, then graduated from Stern College Honors with a BA in Jewish Education and Elementary Education, where she was also a member of the Legacy Heritage Teachers Program. Alyssa earned her Masters from the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration while teaching in Westchester Day School. She was then fortunate to participate in YU’s Gruss Kollel in Yerushalayim and pursue her love of learning Tanach at Matan’s Bellows Eshkolot Program, where she experienced Torat Eretz Yisrael come to life. While in Gruss, she also taught in Shaalvim for Women. Most recently, she was part of the Tanach faculty at Yeshivat Frisch. Since making Aliyah, Alyssa has been involved in building up Neve Shamir’s women’s Torah learning community, while also teaching in Tiferet. Aside from learning Torah, she’s always up for playing basketball or having a baseball catch! Alyssa looks forward to sharing her passion for Torah at Midreshet Lev!
