Dr. Beverly Gribetz has devoted her life to the improvement and professionalization of education in the Jewish world at large. She has been a pioneer in the education of girls and women and has worked on the front lines with teachers and students throughout her entire career. She has championed socio-economic and sectoral integration, including new immigrants from all over the Jewish world, and has set an incomparable model of how to achieve this in her almost two decades of work in the Evelina de Rothschild Tehilla Secondary School.
While fostering technological innovation and the inculcation of Jewish, social, and Zionist values, she has also maintained a hands-on approach, developing a tailor-made educational program for every student in her school. Dr. Gribetz was also the first female teacher of Talmud to girls in the State Religious (Mamlachti Dati) system. She weathered an initial storm of protest to train and inspire some of today’s leading female Torah teachers, especially empowering young educators who are taking on positions of influence in the Israeli religious system.
