Director of Programs
Hungry learner. People connector. Nature seeker.
Born in Jerusalem to an American mother and a Yemenite-Israeli father, and raised in a vibrant Jewish community in South Florida, Meital has always lived at the crossroads of cultures and communities. Her hybrid upbringing ignited her passion for pluralism and her belief in the power of shared Jewish life.
Jewish connectedness and a deep love of Israel shaped her childhood, nurtured by day school, youth groups, summer camp, batei midrash and teen tours that showed her the richness and diversity of the Jewish world. These experiences, together with the community-building modeled at home, continue to guide her work and relationships today.
Meital considers it a profound privilege that her passion is also her profession: developing spiritual leadership that is thoughtful, accessible, and rooted to strengthen Israeli society and the Jewish people. She is dedicated to making Torah a living, breathing resource for all who seek it.
Following her BA in Religion and Philosophy at Barnard College, Meital returned home to Israel and enlisted in the Israeli Air Force. She served as a commander in basic training and later as an officer in a flight squadron in the South, and today continues to serve in reserves in the Home Front Command. In alignment with her commitment to understanding people and the world, she also holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work.
Meital and her husband, Aviad, are building their home in the desert of Kfar Adumim, where they are always seeking their next adventure—hiking suggestions welcome.
