The AMIT Hindy Weinstock Geula Chapter is hosting a summer afternoon tea in memory of Anita Scharf, z”l, on Saturday, July 14, at 5 p.m.

The event will feature guest speaker Shira Schiowitz, a Tanach teacher at the SAR High School, who will speak about Devarim (Deuteronomy) as a handbook for life.

“While I was growing up in the Bronx, my mother, Anita Scharf, z”l, was very dedicated to AMIT [then known as Mizrachi Women],” said Donna Hoenig. “Her dedication to Israel through her involvement with AMIT taught me the importance of raising funds to help children in Israel. It is an honor that the memory of my mother is perpetuated through this annual memorial shiur.”

In addition to teaching Tanach, Schiowitz is a mentor for new teachers and co-director of professional development at SAR. She previously taught at Ma’ayanot, where she also chaired the Tanach department. She also served as assistant dean at Lamdeinu during its first year. She is the rebbetzin of the Shaare Tefillah community, where she and her husband have served for the past 14 years.

The summer afternoon tea will take place at a private home in Teaneck. To register, please go to www.amitchildren.org/geulachaptertea.
