Emily is excited to start her 2nd year with the Jewish Renaissance Project… and to meet you! Now a Philadelphian, but originally from Worcester, Massachusetts, and then Tampa, Florida, Emily lived in New York City for six years, beginning her career in Television (her first job out of college was working for David Letterman!). After a few years, she decided it was time to follow her passions and Emily became the Director of National Programs for Birthright Israel NEXT. She loved college (at Cornell) and thinks working on a college campus is the best! In her free time, Emily swims, travels, reads Wikipedia, watches anything on HGTV, and eats lots of frozen yogurt (and will gladly join anyone, anytime for some).
Josh loves to ride his bike in between: trying to live a maximally Jewish life, completing his final year at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, cooking dinner for his poet wife, Natalie, meditating on the depths of the Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), performing weddings, planning parties, composting, cleaning up after three cats, and making sure all peoples of Philadelphia are being cared for and encouraged with hope. But most of all, he wants to meet YOU, and hear about what’s keeping you so busy!
