I’m Tzipporah from Connecticut, USA, perpetual student and teen staff at Jewish Girls Unite, with a passion for connecting to G-d and our inner selves especially through the power of our words! In this vein, I am excited to be a counselor and lead morning-prayer club (daily), and a creative writing club, as part of the exciting program. I have been developing my writing talent for many years, more recently with the mentorship of JGU, and was fortunate to apply it in various ways, which include short stories, essays, poetry, blogs, press releases, and collaborations on educational or inspirational resources.
