At Mesorah High School for Girls, “Mesorah” isn’t just a name—it’s a way of life. It means tradition. It means continuity. It means following in the footsteps of those who came before—and inspiring those who are still to come.
A beautiful reflection of this came together in one heartwarming moment: a photo featuring generations of Mesorah women—mothers and daughters—learning, teaching, and living Torah values together under one roof.
These aren’t just any mothers and daughters. They’re Mesorah’s faculty, staff, and students, continuing a legacy of chinuch and chesed with every passing day:
- Mrs. Esti Abrams, Chumash and Jewish History teacher (and so much more), alongside her daughter Rina Tova Abrams (class of ’28).
- Mrs. Susan Rich, Mesorah Assistant Principal, and her daughter, Shuvi Rich (class of ’22), a former intern and proud alumna.
- Mrs. Shelley Lurie, our devoted bookkeeper, with her daughter Refaela Lurie (class of ’27).
- Mrs. Ahuva Becher, beloved mechaneches, with baby Rina Becher, a future Mesorah student, is already home in the halls.
- Mrs. Laya Senft, teacher of Navi and Halacha (and so much more), was joined by her daughters Chaya Bracha Senft (class of ’28) and Basya Senft (class of ’27).
- Mrs. Dalia Yurowitz, Navi Bekius, and science teacher, with her daughter Avigail Yurowitz (class of ’27).
- (Not Pictured) Mrs. Becky Udman, P.E. teacher, with daughter Rina (class of ’28).
From mechanchos and administrators to students and toddlers toddling behind, this picture captures something powerful: Mesorah isn’t just a school—it’s a home. It’s a place where Torah is taught, caught, and passed lovingly from mother to daughter—where education is personal, meaningful, and multi-generational.
Mesorah stands proudly as a beacon of what it means to build a legacy in a world that often moves too fast to hold onto tradition. One family, one class, one generation at a time. Torah and chessed. ■
