Midreshet Tehillah Alumnae Newsletter Dear fellow MT'ers, Welcome to the inaugural Midreshet Tehillah newsletter. Believe it or not, Midreshet Tehillah is completing its Bat Mitzvah year and we could not pass up this opportunity to celebrate. With the backdrop of this momentous birthday, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the MT Alumnae Network. The vision for the network is to create meaningful ways for alumnae to connect with each other and with Midreshet Tehillah’s incredible staff. We are putting together a comprehensive alumnae directory, and envision online classes, reunions...the possibilities are endless! We have appointed class ambassadors to represent each graduating year so expect a call soon!
