Meet our Sunday Family Program Educator!
Nicolia (they/them & she/her) was born and raised in the SF Bay Area but didn't get involved in Jewish life until their adulthood. Hearing about halakha convinced her that Jewish tradition was full of gems. After a year of learning with Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies, Nicolia began to lead workshops on liturgy, Hebrew and Jewish traditions, organize community events, and support synagogues with virtual accessibility. Professionally, they also teach conflict resolution skills, facilitate collaborative processes, and mediate community disputes. Ask Nicolia about biblical and talmudic agricultural practices!
