Elana brings her passion for creating meaningful space, Jewish social justice, and well-organized calendars to her role as Annual Giving and Events Manager. Her experience in startup sales and events, as well as a past life in Off-Broadway directing, inform her work in executing successful events and experiences with Keshet.

Elana is from Washington DC where her spirit for activism and schmoozing was ignited. She earned her BFA from The New School in New York City and now lives in Cambridge, MA with her husband and her Dutch Shepherd, Pepper. A recent stint in Philly covers Elana’s East Coast wanderings; she looks forward to many games of Jewish Geography with you. When she’s not working, Elana can be found cooking and/or pickling, doing hot yoga, or at the library.
