Elissa Einhorn

Elissa Einhorn

Elissa Einhorn began her writing career in the Bronx at the age of 8. She earned a master’s degree in communications and journalism 20 years later. While Elissa worked for non-profits her entire career, including as a Jewish communal professional, she now enjoys working for herself as a freelance writer. Still, her most treasured role is that of ima (mom) to twin daughters who she is (finally) happy to count among her friends.

Sammy Paykel reads from the Torah as his parents Neela and Joe Paykel (from left), Rabbi Alissa Forrest Miller and Cantor Leigh Korn look on.
