Biographical Information
Between being the daughter of a rabbi and the wife to a rabbi, it’s easy to understand Mrs. Dassi Weiner’s inspiration to join the education profession. As a native Angeleno, Mrs. Weiner holds a special passion for growing the minds of students and educators in the community that raised her.
Mrs. Weiner serves as the elementary girls principal at Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn Toras Emes Academy, where she has contributed her talent, experience, and innovation for about a decade. She leads her department with pride, taking the time to channel her energy and simcha (joy) into each classroom. Mrs. Weiner created what is now a nationally growing character development program called “RAISE the Bar,” which includes hands-on activities, videos and curricular materials that can be embedded in the school day. RAISE stands for: Respect And Include Students Everywhere. She shares her experiences broadly as a Torah Umesorah (National Society for Hebrew Day Schools) presenter and has delivered in-service workshops around the country. Additionally, Mrs. Weiner participates in many chesed (kindness) projects in her North Hollywood community.
