Hadassah Weiner

Mrs. Hadassah Weiner serves as the elementary girls principal at Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn Toras Emes Academy, where she has contributed her talent, experience, and innovation for nearly a decade. She leads her department with pride, taking the time to channel her energy and simcha (joy) into the academic, social and spiritual growth of each student. She collaborates with families and staff to ensure each student receives individualized support, while ensuring the school’s overall educational mission promotes a love for Torah and Yiddishkeit. Teaching staff members also know her boundless support, receiving reliable guidance, mentorship and professional development. 

With a mission to create a positive, inclusive school culture, Mrs. Weiner created what is now a nationally growing character development program called “RAISE the Bar,” which includes guided lessons, actionable steps, and curricular materials that can be embedded in the school day. RAISE stands for: Respect And Include Students Everywhere. She shares her experiences 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. She obtained her teaching certification in Jerusalem from Machon Bnos Yehuda Seminary. 

Between being the daughter of a rabbi and the wife to a rabbi, it’s easy to understand Mrs. Weiner’s inspiration to join the education profession: “From a young age, my parents instilled in me a deep sense of dedication to the klal and a love for chinuch that truly runs in my blood. They taught me that there is no greater privilege than teaching Torah to the next generation and inspiring others to strengthen their connection to Hashem.”
