Shulamith School for Girls is a centrist Modern Orthodox Jewish school. It was the first Orthodox Jewish elementary school for girls in North America.〔(Jewish Women's Archive on Nacha Rivkin )〕 The name ''shulamith'' ((ヘブライ語:שולמית)) is a feminine form of the Hebrew name Solomon, which loosely translates to "peace". ==History== The school was founded in 1930 by Bertha Blazer, together with Rabbi M.G. Volk in Borough Park, Brooklyn.〔(Shulamith Institue for Girls of Borough Park Graduation Number, 1936 )〕 From 1941, Dr. Judith Lieberman served as Hebrew principal and later as dean of Hebrew studies. Shulamith moved to a building in Midwood which originally housed Vitagraph Studios.〔(The Vitaphone Project )〕 Shulamith opened an elementary branch, originally called Bnot Shulamith, on Long Island in 2000. In July 2010, Shulamith was divided into two schools: the Shulamith School for Girls (the "legacy entity") on Long Island, and a new school called the Shulamith School of Brooklyn. Each has its own board, administration, and finances. The Shulamith School for Girls on Long Island has grown quickly to 546 students in grades N-9 in 2015-6. Mrs. Joyce Yarmak is the Long Island school's founding principal and runs its Lower Division. Mrs. Estee Scher is the principal of the Early Childhood Division. Mrs. Rookie Billet (principal) and Dr. Evelyn Gross (associate principal) administer the Middle Division (grades 5-8). Mrs. Rina Zerykier is the High School principal, which opens with a ninth grade in September 2015. Rabbi Perry Tirschwell serves as the executive director of the Long Island school. Shulamith moved into its new home at 305 Cedarhurst Ave, Cedarhurst, NY in Summer 2015. Early Childhood classes meet at 140 Irving Place in Woodmere, NY. Shulamith of Brooklyn serves students from preschool through twelfth grade. The high school was founded in 1980 with Dr. Susan Katz serving as principal. She retired in 2007. Over the years the high school has received numerous outstanding academic achievements. Shulamith High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education.〔(Blue Ribbon Schools Program - Schools Recognized 1982-1983 Through 1999-2002 )〕 The high school is Middle States Accredited. Under the leadership of the new Board of Directors and Menahel Rabbi Shmuel Klammer, the Shulamith School of Brooklyn began to flourish once again, with near-record enrollment in the Pre-School program. Post graduation, students have pursued professional careers in law, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, business, and others. Graduates pursued their advanced education at some of the most recognized universities across the nation including Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Yale, New York University, Yeshiva University, SUNY colleges, CUNY colleges, etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shulamith School for Girls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
