After graduating from Moriah, Mrs Hasofer served as a Hebrew and Jewish Studies teacher at the College, as well as a madricha for the Year 10 IST program.

In 2001, she moved to Hong Kong, where she spent two decades working in Jewish education, including 11 years as the Head of Hong Kong’s Carmel Elementary School.

Since returning to Sydney with her family in 2021, she has held the position of College Principal and Head of the Junior School at Masada College.

Mrs Hasofer has recently been appointed as chair of the NSW Heads of Jewish Day Schools.
