Administration
Mrs. Meira Federgrun
Head of School
Mrs. Federgrun earned her Master’s degree from the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education at Yeshiva University after studying at both Bnos Chava Seminary in Israel and the prestigious Yavne Seminary in Cleveland. Mrs. Federgrun came to Shalhevet with over a decade of successful and varied Jewish education experience, having taught elementary, middle, and high school students from Monsey to Manhattan. Her prioritization of both subject matter and the individual student led to her additional appointment as Middle School Guidance Counselor at Manhattan Day School before she joined the Shalhevet family.
Between administration and teaching, Mrs. Federgrun continues to develop Shalhevet into a school of excellence. Inspired by the strong role models in her life, Mrs. Federgrun believes young women should learn intensively and be taught to learn independently. Her skills and passion, along with that of the excellent faculty she leads, help our students develop their love for Hashem, devotion to a Torah lifestyle, and adherence to Halacha. She strives to cultivate within each student pride in her role as a Jewish woman and maintains strong bonds with former students as they navigate the challenges and joys of adult life.
Mrs. Federgrun is a proud wife and mother. Her husband, Rabbi Ari Federgrun, serves as Assistant Rabbi at Schara Tzedeck.
