Adel Eichorn earned her degree in history because she loved the subject. When it came time to get a job, however, the market was not flooded with offers. Taking a turn for the practical, she took a paralegal course and began working at a law office in the real estate department. Fast forward five years and Eichorn found herself wishing for a more stimulating career. When her boss suggested law school, she didn’t see a way to do it with young children at home, a part time job and a house undergoing construction. That is until she heard about Touro Law’s FlexTime JD program.

It is a special haftarah, but it wasn’t read this year because Rosh Chodesh was on Sunday [and Monday], so the Machar Chodesh haftarah was read instead.
