Dorit grew up in West Orange, NJ, and always dreamt of making aliyah to Israel. She attended Stern College and worked as a Beit Midrash Fellow at SAR High School. After making Aliyah she earned an MA in Education Psychology at Ben Gurion University and a Teaching Certificate at David Yellin College of Education in Jerusalem. In Israel, she was an English reading specialist, a school psychologist, and taught at a local elementary school.

When not counseling or teaching, you can find her reading a book or trying out a new recipe.

Dorit serves as one of our JLIC Educators.

The Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus (JLIC) is a national partnership between Hillel and the Orthodox Union that places rabbinic couples on select campuses to serve as Torah educators and mentors for students.
