Hi! I'm Jenna.
I'm so glad you're here.
My Jewish journey began unexpectedly over 10 years ago when I was studying at Emory University in Atlanta. I was a secular girl from New York who happened to be Jewish. Then I found myself in a classroom at Neve Yerushalayim in Israel and everything changed.
My book, Princess Without a Crown, details how I returned to my Jewish roots. I have been privileged to share my story on podcasts and at seminaries, schools, shuls, and private events as well.
I created this site so that I could continue to share my Jewish journey through the written and spoken word. I love to share deep, beautiful Torah wisdom and discuss how we can integrate these amazing ideas into our lives. Of course, this work can be challenging, and I don’t shy away from that either.
In sharing the real beauty and challenges of my Jewish journey with you, I hope we can learn and grow from each other.
Love,
Jenna

Princess Without A Crown

"This book tells the personal story of one young woman's path back to her ancient heritage. I found it instructive and moving. There are many lessons to be learned from it, for both students and teachers of authentic Judaism."
-Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz, international lecturer and author of note
"Jenna's engaging book about her spiritual journey into Judaism is an honest and often amusing memoir, peopled with a cast of colorful characters. Her spiritual struggles (and lapses) are a counterpoint to her God-directed, deep longings. Readers will enjoy traveling with her on her journey."
-Sara Yoheved Rigler, best-selling author and international lecturer
"As a non-Jew, with little understanding of Judaism, I was still spellbound by this book and Jenna's journey. I couldn't read it fast enough. What a beautiful talent!"
-Linda Sivertsen, best-selling author and host of the Beautiful Writers podcast
