Headed home from Clal’s Jewish Innovation conference. Feeling so grateful to be part of a community that inspires, uplifts, and challenges me to grow. 🌈✨

This group of brilliant leaders reminds me of why I’m so passionate about blending curiosity, creativity, and connection in my work. Together, we’re shaping new possibilities for the Jewish world, and I couldn’t be more honored to learn and dream alongside them. Here’s to innovation, exploration, and meaningful impact!

✨ Modeling one of my all-time favorites as we approach this feative season: "It's Chanukah Today" by Andi Joseph! This zipper movement song is a total game-changer—it’s instantly engaging, with the directions built right into the lyrics. 🎶

I love "tasking" my community to be the rhythm section. It’s more than just fun; it’s a way to unite everyone through shared focus and synchronized movement. When we make music together, our breathing and nervous systems align, creating a sense of connection and readiness for deeper engagement. 💙🕎

🌍✨ Reflecting on the sacred tension between humility and purpose:

In one pocket, a note says, “I am but dust and ashes.”
In the other, “For my sake, the world was created.”

At an alumni conference for Jewish innovation, I’m reminded how these timeless truths from Jewish sacred texts inspire the work we do as Jewish educators. To create a future of Judaism that truly meets contemporary needs, we must hold space for both—the humility to learn and adapt, and the audacious belief that our contributions matter deeply.

Let’s dream, innovate, and build together. What will you create for the sake of the world? 🌱✨

My Saturday night was all about cookies, kiddos, and connection. 🕎✨ My girls and I gathered with our ‘framily’ to bake Chanukah treats, and honestly? This is the kind of night I dream about—celebrating meaningfully, sharing laughter, and building ritual with like-minded families who feel like home.

Because it’s not just about the cookies (though they are delicious!). It’s about connection, community, and building Jewish memories that last. Feeling so lucky to have this village to share it all with. ✨
