Ayala Cohen is from Chicago, Illinois. She attended Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov High School, then went to Michlalah for 1.5 years, and is currently a junior in Stern College, majoring in education. Having gone on NCSY Michlelet herself, Ayala is extremely excited to be back as a Madricha!
The girls in Ayala’s chaburah are Chana Rivka Herbsmen (Washington Heights, NY) Bassy Reisman (Monsey, NY) Yael Beylus (Woodmere, NY), and Penina Rubin (Silverspring, Maryland).
Ayala’s chaburah focuses on various maamarei chazal that teach us important values and middot that can be applied to our daily lives. During each chaburah, the girls delve into the deeper meaning of the specific chazal for that day and learn how to apply it outside the Reishit walls. The fun activities they do together during the chaburah help them internalize the important messages being taught.
If you were an animal in the forest what would you be and why?
Penina- a bird so I could fly away from any awkward situation
Bassy- I would be a bird so that I could fly across the whole world and see Hashem’s creations.
Chana Rivky-a parrot because I like to talk to people!
Yael- a monkey because I’m crazy!!!!
Ayala- a deer, living up to my Hebrew name 😉
