In April 2015, Dr. Zelina Iskanderova became a member of the Betel Centre and joined as a volunteer on the Members’ Council. After seeing the benefits gained by both her mother and mother-in-law who participated in Betel programs, she felt, “obligated to give back to the centre.” She knew she could contribute by assisting in the extension and enhancement of the programs and activities, and helping to maintain high programming standards.
Zelina holds a PH.D in Physics and was the first female Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Science. In retirement, she continues to actively participate in Research and Development providing her professional expertise globally. In addition to her professional work, Zelina has a busy family life and is blessed with five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. In addition to volunteering, she leads a monthly program for our Russian Golden Age Cultural program.
On May 15, 2010, using her lifelong passion for Yiddish language and culture, Zelina gave her first presentation. 13 years later, she continues to lead a program highlighting a variety of Yiddish and Jewish composers, singers, actors and other entertainers. If you have not already, we invite you to attend one of Zelina’s lively and enlightening presentations.
Zelina’s next presentation will be with the Russian Golden Age Cultural Program on Sunday, August 13 at 10:00 am. Please note this program will be in Russian:
