Ilana Weinberg

for her tenth year

teaching at Beit Rabban

Adit Sadan Samet grew up in Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael and now lives in New York City’s Upper West Side. With her husband, Iddo, she is a proud parent of three. Adit and her family joined the Beit Rabban community in 2013. Adit's professional background lies in public policy and economics. She worked for the Israeli Ministry of Interior, crafting regulatory policies for municipally owned corporations. She conducted research on political economics for the Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem-based think-tank, and consulted for an Israeli non-profit promoting financial literacy in the Israeli periphery. Adit holds a master’s degree in Public Policy from the Federmann School of Public Policy and Government, and is a graduate of the Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics (PPE) program at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Since 2015, Adit has been a board member at Beit Rabban and is serving as its Treasurer since 2019.

Cynthia Schwartz has dedicated the past 34 years to working on the same trading team, currently serving as the Managing Director and Head of Desk for LME Metals at Marex, a publicly traded financial services firm based in London. She graduated from Cornell University in 1989. Cynthia is a proud alumni parent of Shane Schwartz, who graduated from Beit Rabban in 2024. She resides on the Upper West Side with her two sons, her beloved husband Yaron, and their yorkie poodle, Ziggy. Cynthia attributes her love of Judaism, Israel, and Jewish education to her mother, Dale Ginsburg z"l, who infused her childhood with Jewish tradition including gathering her two children to stand beside her to watch her light Shabbat candles, whisper her prayers and bring the light into their home. 

Ilana Weinberg has spent the past decade at Beit Rabban as a dedicated and dynamic teacher, guiding students from first through third grade and proving that strong teaching—like a good story—can evolve and travel. Before joining Beit Rabban, Ilana spent nine years teaching at another NYC day school, bringing a wealth of experience (and a well-worn read-aloud voice) with her. Whether she's supporting young writers, mentoring colleagues, or navigating the beautiful chaos of classroom life, Ilana brings warmth, clarity, and a good dose of humor to everything she does. Outside of school, she’s a passionate traveler (ask her about Bali or her two trips to China), a connoisseur of NYC’s Israeli food scene, a loyal Yankees fan, and the calm center of a household that includes her husband Craig—whose culinary skills she enjoys and whose Philadelphia Eagles fandom she gracefully endures—and their daughters, Mara and Ava.
