Chaya brings over a decade of experience teaching Limudei Kodesh to young women in Johannesburg, with a particular focus on the high school years — a stage she sees as critical for identity formation and personal growth. She also has experience in teaching adults in innovative techniques in Israel.

She founded Hila out of a conviction that meaningful education must be personal, structured, deeply rooted in Torah, and responsive to the whole person. She leads Hila with a commitment to leadership education, high standards, and the development of young women who are capable, self-governing, and deeply connected to themselves, to others, and to Hashem

Shira leads Hila’s Self-Growth and Leadership Development programme. Drawing on her experience in education, coaching, and personal development, she guides students in building self-awareness, communication skills, emotional resilience, cultivating a strong sense of identity and personal responsibility.

She has trained in psychodrama and courses in art and movement therapy, bringing a deeply experiential and embodied approach to her work. In addition, Shira home educated her children for several years, grounded in the principles of Leadership Education—an experience that continues to shape her understanding of how young people grow into confident, self-directed individuals.

Through structured sessions and ongoing mentorship, Shira helps young women develop the inner clarity and strength needed to lead themselves with confidence and integrity.
