Shulamith School for Girls
Shulamith School for Girls is a Centrist Orthodox Jewish school. It was the first Orthodox Jewish elementary school for girls in North America. The name Shulamith () is a feminine form of the Hebrew name Solomon, which loosely translates to "peace". As of July 2010, the organization was divided into two separate institutions which operate independent schools in Brooklyn and Long Island. History The school was founded in 1930 by Bertha Blazer Schraeter, together with Rabbi M.G. Volk at 4910 14th Avenue in Borough Park, Brooklyn. From 1941, Dr. Judith Lieberman served as Hebrew principal and later as dean of Hebrew studies. Shulamith moved to 1277 East 14th Street in Midwood which originally housed Vitagraph Studios. In July 2010, Shulamith was divided into two schools: the Shulamith School for Girls of Long Island, and the Shulamith School for Girls of Brooklyn. Each has its own board, administration, and finances. The four divisions of Shulamith School for Girls of Long Island service 600 students: Early Childhood in Woodmere (Principal Esther Kirschbaum), Grades 1-8 ( Principal Dr. Evelyn Gross) and High School (principal Sara Munk and Danyel Goldberg). Shulamith of Brooklyn serves students from preschool through twelfth grade. The high school was
