How fitting that at the beginning of this new school year, Audrey Axelrod Trachtman will take the helm as AMIT’s national president. Every four years a new president is installed at AMIT. Along with this change in administration, our board of directors and other boards are also infused with new people who are passionate and dedicated to our mission.

Successfully including students of all abilities in Jewish education can seem overwhelming for a school that has not previously made accommodations or offered opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
