WHAT I DO
I believe we need Judaism and Judaism needs us.
At the heart of my work lies a passionate commitment to reconnecting Jews with our shared heritage and with each other. Stronger together is not a tired cliche, but the living heartbeat of Jewish survival and thrival.
I build bridges between both Jewish and non-Jewish communities, link ancient wisdom with contemporary challenges, and create welcoming spaces where all Jews can find their calling.
