Advisory Member, Council of Wise Elders

Jewish -Post Denominational

ChanaTina (Schachter) Duskis is a Sage-ing Facilitator and member of the Faculty of The Yerusha Academy where she teaches training programs and leads eldering workshops.

ChanaTina is the youngest child of Rabbi Zalman and his first wife, Tziporah Faygl. May their memory be a blessing. ChanaTina grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, where her father taught. She enjoyed decades of parental guidance and influence throughout her life and hopes to continue his legacy by tiptoeing in his rather large footsteps, spreading Sage-ing wisdom throughout the world.

She is not retired but "Re-inspired,” lives in a small city called Bet Shemesh (House of the Sun) midway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and stands ready to share her 70 years of life experience, wisdom and stories with you.

Chana Tina is also involved in storytelling and cultural preservation. She has contributed to narratives that highlight personal and communal histories, reflecting a commitment to sharing meaningful experiences.
