She designs, facilitates, and evaluates experiences that graciously invite people to meaningfully engage with themselves, the ones they love, their community, and/or humanity (something bigger than any one of us). Her careful attention to environmental design and deep respect for the beauty of cognitive diversity demands a rigorous intentionality – a strategy that amplifies impact.

We hired Emily to be the musician-in-residence at a family retreat and she was fantastic. Her energy and enthusiasm come from a wealth of both Judaic and child-centered expertise, and her musical moments were a true highlight of our event. Emily is great to work with, and inspiring to sing with. 10/10 would hire again!
The words and melodies are sing-able, dance-able, and pray-able. Miss Emily has touched the soul of Jewish musical expression for young children and brought sunshine to our lives
Yay!
‘Miss Emily’ became ‘Dr. Emily’ when this dissertation was successfully defended before the Gratz College faculty in Spring 2018. It is the first contemporary research to be conducted on the topic.

Life would be much easier if we were able to prepare for the big questions our tiny humans ask us. Many parents of young children struggle to feel confident navigating religious and spiritual matters because we feel like novices ourselves. Thankfully, we’ve got access to an enormous selection of literature on these topics if we are able to look with a wide lens and an open mind.
Yom Kippur is a tricky topic to explore with young children. “Repentance” is a cognitively complex and ethically complicated concept that your children can explore for the rest of their lives. I like to explore the big ideas of Yom Kippur including self-reflection, self-regulation, and repair after conflict. This collection of tunes is a diverse set that includes updated versions of some traditional tunes, simple fingerplays for babies, and story songs that help explain Jonah.
