    Elyssa Hurwitz

    Associate Director, Jewish Education

    Pronouns: she/her/they/them

    Chicago, IL

    Elyssa is our Associate Director, Jewish Education. As a lifelong Jewish learner and educator, Elyssa is ecstatic to be a part of Mem Global’s Jewish Education team! She is excited by opportunities to make Torah accessible and engaging to people from all different backgrounds and learning styles, and she does that  as an educator and through leading the Jewish Life Specialists.

    Elyssa was born and raised in the California Bay Area before she moved to Michigan for college (Go Green!), Oregon to work at Hillel, Jerusalem to start graduate school, and then New York to finish her Master’s in Jewish Experiential Education from JTS. When she’s not annotating her Tanakh with the color-coded system she created, you can find her crocheting or embroidering, making spreadsheets of nerdy things, talking with people about the Shmitah year, baking, and re-organizing her spice cabinet.
