DEVELOPMENT NEWS a tribute to the schulders, z”l
A
s a family, the Schulders always knew that the best way to pay tribute to their beloved parents was to do a special dedication in their memory. Shirley, z”l, spent many years of her life devoted to Mizrachi Women and AMIT. She served with distinction in her chapter and rose to be a member of the Board of Directors. Along the way, Paul, z”l , her devoted husband, supported her in every endeavor that she undertook to help the children of AMIT. In fact, Paul continued to support the important work of AMIT on his own after Shirley passed away. To that end, the family (Esther and William Schulder, Barbara and Elliott Schulder, Lynnette Gruenhut, Drs. Lu and Michael Schulder) decided to dedicate a classroom at the AMIT Nordlicht Religious Technological High School in Jerusalem. According to Shirley and Paul’s son William, “For us as a family, the choice to dedicate a room in our parents’ honor at AMIT was clear. They taught us the meaning of tzedakah and chesed and the need to support the future of Israel. AMIT fulfills that legacy and we are proud and privileged to have this opportunity and look forward to visiting the school as soon as possible. “
