Jennifer received her MS in health policy and management from the Harvard School of Public Health, where she was a Mitchell Dong Scholar, and a BA in public health and Latin American Studies from Haverford College. In her free time, Jennifer greatly enjoys traveling and serves as co-chair of the steering committee for the Jewish Community Relations Council’s ReachOut! volunteer program for young professionals.
Havurah on the Hill gathers people in their 20's and 30's for a variety of programming designed specifically for young adults. The Nosh series are gastro-centric programs that embrace Jewish culture through food. Cook, eat, and learn! Schmooze and Jews convenes a group of Jewish young adults and their friends to participate in activities throughout the city, from films to bar nights to community service. The monthly non-denominational, egalitarian, lay-led Shabbat services take place on the third Friday of every month.
