Hebrew Academy (RASG) high school faculty member Mrs. Tirtza Schapiro has been named as one of the winners of the thirteenth annual Grinspoon-Steinhardt Awards for Excellence in Jewish Education.
The mission of the Grinspoon-Steinhardt Award is to raise the status of the Jewish educators and provide those educators with the recognition they deserve. Annually, one teacher from 55 major cities nationwide receives this award and Mrs. Schapiro was selected as the South Florida region winner out of hundreds of nominees.
