Avigayil grew up in Toronto and moved to New York to attend YU’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work.

 

She has worked at the Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) for the past 5 years and is currently Program Director of the Intensive Mobile Treatment program, where she oversees two mental health teams.

 

Avigayil was first introduced to MJE in 2017 through their Wednesday Night Learning Program and was drawn in by the warmth and atmosphere of joy in learning Torah.

 

She’s been learning with Elyssa ever since and hopes to keep it up! Avigayil lives in Washington Heights.
