Our newest Soferet - Hanna Klebansky
Hanna Klebansky was born in the former Soviet Union in the city of Tblisi, to a traditional Jewish family. She studied piano at the National Academy of Music, and in 1995, completed her studies and received an academic degree. Parallel to her studies, she was active in the local Jewish community. A graduate of the Machon Gold teaching certificate program, which operates in the diaspora, she taught in Jewish schools and Sunday schools. In 1996, Hanna immigrated to Israel. Her spiritual search brought her to the Masorti movement and, since 2000, she has been a rabbinical student at the Schechter Institute. She was ordained in 2006.
In 2002 Hanna Klebansky founded the Creative Beit Midrash "Zimrat You" to offer immigrants from the former Soviet Union in Israel cultural and Jewish pluralistic opportunities for learning and creative expression.
Hanna lives with Yigal and their five children in Jerusalem.
