Meet Janna
Chief Executive Officer, Director, and Co-founder
Janna, a New York City native, found a profound connection with Israel and its people at 16. “I’ve always believed that Israel picked me when I was chosen to represent America as a Youth Ambassador with the America Israel Friendship League (AIFL) in 1996. I wholeheartedly embraced its vibrant culture. Even today, at forty-three, my commitment to Israel endures, as does my connection to remarkable individuals, especially during challenging moments like the war we are currently facing today.” Janna serves on the AIFL committee as a delegate. Despite an ongoing successful career spanning over two decades in sales, operations, and finance, Janna attained social work degrees and dedicated years to helping children affected by trauma in high-profile cases in New York City. Currently, she is developing personalized “healing maps” for children impacted by trauma and abuse, drawing inspiration from the events of October 7th. With a firm belief in the healing power of human connections, Janna is committed to serving the Israeli people and nurturing US-Israel relationships as a lifelong mission.
