Shayna

Shayna.
Staff 2006, West Coast.

Shayna is the boyishly klutzy daughter and only child of long widowed Rebbe Mendel, who teaches Talmud (a codification of Jewish Law) to local boys - and to Shayna, but secretly because girls were not allowed to learn the law in those days. When her father moved to Boca Raton, Shayna is all alone in the world. She takes the momentous decision to leave the East Coast and - disguised as a boy - seeks and gets admitted to a Yeshiva, to study the texts, traditions, subtleties and complexities of Torah, Talmud, etc.

After her studies were complete, Shayna called Scarwars organizer Shawn Porter and asked to be a staffer for Scarwars 06. Knowing a diamond in the rough when he sees one, Shawn accepts Shayna's offer and she becomes a member of the Scarrwars family.
