Step right up and meet Marganit Lish, a charming CWC/WV member that you will not soon forget. Always smiling, ready to offer a helping hand, Marganit was born in the State of Israel and spent her childhood in Israel and South Africa. Married to Merrill Lish, she is the mother of two married daughters and the grandmother of 5 grand-children.

 

Her longest teaching assignment is her current role of Professor of Hebrew at Moorpark College This delightful lady has been involved in education for most of her life in the U.S. Her four degrees include an M.A. in Edu-cation, a B.A. in Sociology/Psychology, a B.S. in Judaic Education and, she has a Life Teaching CredentialWorld Languages Department, where she has taught since 1997. Add to that her recognition as the new Chabad Conejo Valley High School founding educator.

 

Yes, you can also call her an entrepreneur. She is the creator of several educational related curriculums and is the owner of “Educational Resources,” a company specializing in supplementary primary educational aids and books in the primary grades.

 

Her travels have taken her to five world continents and traveling is only one of her many hobbies. She knits, sews, reads and writes – presently writing memoirs of her parents’ life history. Although English is Marganit’s second language, she recently received first prize for one of our CWC/WV writing contests held this year. Writing opened a facet of her personality that she enjoys so very much. She credits Dave Wetterberg for inspiring her new interest.

 

She also devotes much time serving as a volunteer at the Motion Picture & Television Fund. This was recently acknowledged when she was inter-viewed by Joe Sutton, the very popular CWC/WV speaker for the Novem-ber 2008 meeting. Kudos to Marganit! She is one amazing lady!
