About Eliana

Eliana is working towards a world of One-ness, guided and inspired by Jewish heritage. She focuses on translating liturgy, prayer practice, and g?d-concepts in ways that are deep and accessible for all people and all ages. Eliana’s music, gatherings, and teaching reflect a spirit of playfulness, embodied wisdom, empathy, and joy. 

Eliana grew up in a caring Jewish home in Memphis TN. Her parents, a Rabbi and a Jewish educator with a beautiful voice, instilled in her a love for Jewish ritual, culture, and sacred song. She seeks to share this love with others, believing that all Jews deserve meaningful Jewish experiences, whether in synagogues, on the fringes, or online. 

In 2016, Eliana graduated from the Davidson School at the Jewish Theological Seminary with a Masters in Jewish Experiential Education. Her undergraduate degree in Sociology from Brandeis University honed her skills in observing and empathy that are crucial to her work. She now lives in Durham North Carolina, holding sacred space & song as artist-in-residence at Beth El and with synagogues across the country.
