About אודות

Michelle Geft מיכל גפט

Michelle has been teaching for over two decades and holds a Master's Degree in  Education.  She is the Director of the Malibu Jewish Center & Synagogue Religious School and an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University.  She also works for IsraelLINK, the middle-school arm of Stand With Us, developing curriculum and training educators to teach about Israel. 

Through her experience teaching, she has developed a talent for bringing  the best out of every one of her students.   She has a deep passion for teaching and believes wholeheartedly in Parker Palmer's educational  philosophy of being passionate and true to what you teach. 


"Michelle's  passion for the Hebrew language and attention to detail is  unparalleled.  Through her incredible insight and contagious patience,  we were reading within days!  Michelle has undoubtedly been placed in  our lives to teach this beautifully pure language the way G-d intended.   With simplicity at the forefront and mastery at the core, learning from  Michelle has been a gift!" 

Christina L., Malibu, CA


"I would  like to give the highest recommendation for Michelle Geft.  She has put  so much time and energy into effectively teaching our students how to  speak Hebrew and her hard work have paid off.  The students were really  interested in learning with her as she was always so enthusiastic and  went out of her way to spend personal time with each of the students.   Professor Geft was able to teach not only what was necessary but meld it  with the students’ interests. The students went to Israel this summer  and they were so much more prepared.  The materials and book [Read,  Write, Recite Hebrew] that she created have been exceptional.  With her  proprietary materials, the students learned more than they had expected and enjoyed doing so."

Connie Lee, Program Director, The Glazer Institute for Jewish Studies at Pepperdine University.

"Michelle Geft is one of the most  patient and skilled teachers our family has ever had the opportunity to  work with. She spent extensive time with our daughter,  a Special Needs  student, to mentor and guide her through the entire process of learning  her Torah portion, and helped her meet all of her goals, in what turned  out to be a life-changing Bat Mitzvah experience.  Michelle went above  and beyond the call of duty while approaching our daughter’s Mitzvah  project; inspiring and nurturing her in a highly collaborative manner,  which led to the publication of a teaching tool for the preschoolers to  use at Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue. Michelle does all of this  with an upbeat attitude and cheerful smile on her face."

Susan, Malibu, CA
