An Israeli, and Jerusalem native, Shani moved to Ithaca temporarily in 2019 with her husband Uriel and two children, Nevo and Keshet. Her past work includes computer programming and project management, writing and editing and working with various non-profit organizations within Israel. She was also a leading member of the French Hill Jewish-Arab community of Maan-Yahad in Jerusalem, and hopes her commitment to community engagement and social justice will continue to thrive within Ithaca's Jewish community and beyond.
