*Atara Eis holds a B.A. from Yeshiva University's Stern College in Judaic Studies and an Associate Degree in Music. She earned an M.S. from YU's Azrieli Graduate School for Jewish Education, and completed its Graduate Program in Advanced Talmudic Studies for Women. While living in Jerusalem and learning at Nishmat's Keren Ariel Halachic Institute to become a Yoetzet Halacha, Atara also served on the Midreshet Lindenbaum faculty.


Atara works as a Yoetzet Halacha at many synagogues in Manhattan.  She is in Manhattan at least once a month.  She is available by phone and email to women who wish to consult with her, as long as it is not Shabbat or Yom Tov!  She also teaches many kallot, both in person and through Skype.  Any kallah she learns with through Skype also meets with her in person at least once.  In 2009, she was named one of the 36 under 36 by the Jewish Week, for her work as a  Yoetzet Halacha.  This fall, she begins a new initiative, supervising the training of women as Yoatzot Halacha in the United States, under the auspices of the American Friends of Nishmat's Miriam Glaubach Center.  In the past, she also served as  Yoetzet in Silver Spring, MD, at the Kemp Mill Synagogue.


Mrs. Eis teaches Judaic Studies at Kohelet Yeshiva High School in Lower Merion, PA, where she also serves as the Mashgichah Ruchanit and Israel advisor to the girls. This year, she will teach only part time at the school, in order to supervise the training program.  She and her husband Rabbi Rafi Eis are parents of Ahuva, Yechezkel and Ephraim.


Shalom and Regards,
RRW
