With a deep-rooted connection to Israel and a lifelong commitment to the Jewish people, Shirel brings extensive experience in education, mentorship, and community leadership. She holds degrees in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, as well as a one-year certification in Judaism studies from Midrasha Machon Ora (2007–2008), enriching her knowledge of Jewish heritage and traditions.
Her professional journey includes serving as Youth Engagement Director at Beth Tzedec Congregation (2017–2021), where she led impactful programs fostering Jewish identity and community engagement. Before that, she worked as an Educational Leader for School Children at Kibbutz Ein Zurim (2011–2016), creating and implementing educational initiatives that promoted growth and learning.
She has also mentored at Hackathons with JNF, supporting youth in their creative and technological endeavors to serve the Jewish community. Her work reflects a dedication to nurturing the next Jeiwsh generation with knowledge, pride, and a sense of belonging.
Shirel views her role in the community not simply as a job, but as a shlichut (mission) to the Jewish nation—an opportunity to strengthen and uplift the people through education, engagement, and unwavering commitment to their shared heritage.
