As a celebrated embodiment practitioner and teacher of earth-based, feminine Kabbalah and mindfulness, Jenna humbly draws inspiration from her root-teachers and ancestors. A trauma-informed somatic coach, author, and ceremonialist, she is passionate about guiding others to trust their Divine Bodies as a source of inner-directed healing. Through the integration of Spirituality & Somatics, Jenna helps individuals reconnect to their Home of Wholeness. A cornerstone of her approach to wellness is embracing support from both visible and invisible guides.
Jenna is a wife of over 10 years, a proud mama to two adventurous boys, and the first-time companion to a blue-eyed Aussie Shepherd name Ruach (Rue for short, like the Ashkenazi plant of protection!) You can find the Zadaka’s in Boulder, Colorado sledding behind their house at Tantra Park in the winter, and trekking through the mountainous rivers collecting unique stones in the summer. From a young age, Jenna has been drawn to the moon and feels most at home in the water. Her greatest creative insights come through when she is floating in a candle-lit bath, laying on the earth, or moving freely on her yoga mat. She is a nerd when it comes to learning Kabbalah and the inner dimension of Torah, and feels a passionate fire when she gets to deep-dive into a new mystical topic. She loves making Spotify playlists for each of the Hebrew months, candle-gazing, and creating her next feminine yoga flow or sacred ceremony. Wherever she has lived (Minnesota, Brooklyn, Jerusalem, and Boulder), and through deep pain, struggle, and grief-Rosh Chodesh (blessing the New Moon) has been a guiding anchor in her life.
For over 15 years, Jenna has been an educator of Kabbalistic Mysticism through an embodied, feminine, earth-based lens. She is deeply passionate about harnessing present-moment awareness and growth through the psycho-spiritual energies of the Hebrew months, guiding others to find balance and alignment through the Kabbalistic Sefirot ( the Divine illuminating energies of the Tree of Life), and embodiment through the 4 elements. The prayer through all of her offerings is to lead individuals back to their Home of Wholeness.
Her courses have included:
Jewish Yoga Course through the 12 Mystical Hebrew Months
Embodied Course through the 7 Sefirot (Kabbalistic Energies)
Elul Forgiveness Course
Sacred Intention: A moon-by-moon cohort for ages 55+
Inner Renewal: A cohort exploring Jewish feminine wisdom
Monthly in-person New Moon gatherings and global New Moon Circles through At The Well

Jenna is also a published author and creator, having produced works that integrate Jewish mystical and earth-based practices, such as:
Mystic Meditation Cards sourced from Ancient Jewish Wisdom and a Jewish Meditation Guidebook
Dips of the Divine: A Guide to Mikvah & Marking Sacred Time
Moon by Moon: A Guided Journal for a Year of Well-Being
Moonlight Mikvah Ritual: A Kavanah Card Deck
The Way of Blessing the Moon: A Modern Kiddush Levana

At The Well’s 5784 and 5785 Hebrew Calendars
At The Well’s Monthly Moon Manuals
Rooted in the values of circle consciousness, Jenna facilitates sacred space through seasonal-based gatherings, including Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) circles, Jewish meditation retreats, healing ceremonies, and threshold-crossing ceremonies. The spirituality that worked before—rooted in hierarchical systems—is no longer resonating with many individuals. People are yearning for a more wholesome, connected experience to their spirituality, and Jenna is passionate about offering a shared space where everyone’s presence contributes to the whole.
After earning her Master’s degree from CU Boulder, Jenna began her career as a Speech Language Pathologist, working with adults with cognitive disorders. Quietly integrating spirituality and mindfulness into her sessions, she was amazed at how these holistic practices accelerated her clients’ healing. While not fitting the traditional mold of her graduate cohort, supportive professors encouraged her to pursue certifications in mindfulness, yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and somatics. By trusting her intuition over logic, she discovered the power of listening deeply—and the success that follows authenticity. Since then she has taught dozens of courses, classes, retreats and workshops and provided 1:1 care to folks yearning for spiritual growth, wholeness, and alignment. She is in continuous awe of the wisdom of the body and the guidance it provides.
Jenna integrates personalized creative visualization, embodied prayer, and mystically-sourced meditation for her clients and groups. While her facilitation is heart-centered and gentle, many are struck by her depth of detailed wisdom in wellness, mysticism, and spirituality. Jenna believes everyone has the natural ability to heal and find their Home of Wholeness when given the support of a nonjudgmental, compassionate witness.
“When I enter my body’s wisdom, I am always humbled to discover the still, small voice, the divine inside. ”

“With regard to anyone who blesses the new month in its auspicious time, it is as if she greets the Face of the Shekhinah (Feminine Divine Presence). ”
Why I Have Been Drawn to Rosh Chodesh (Blessing Beneath the New Moon)
When I was 19, I was drawn to the feminine dimension of Torah. As soon as I learned about the ancient ritual of Rosh Chodesh—blessing the New Moon—I began hosting women’s circles to gather during this sacred time. Over time, and from place to place, these circles evolved as I did. From making flower crown prayers in my crowded Brooklyn apartment, to candlelit Rosh Chodesh yoga sessions in my studio in the heart of Nachlaot, Jerusalem, to dancing under the moon in lush backyard gardens in Boulder,CO, Rosh Chodesh has been an anchor in my life wherever I have lived.
While I can feel lost and jaded at part of “small talk”, I feel most aligned and alive in ceremonies. I have always yearned to sink deeper with my friendships and community. The accessibility and guidance of the Hebrew calendar have shaped meaningful conversations, rituals, songs, prayers, and beautiful gatherings. The sacred calendar has anchored me to cosmic time beyond myself. It has helped me cultivate present-moment awareness and feel part of something greater as I journey through life. My nervous system feels settled knowing I am not alone in my journey, but am pulled by a deeper force.
The rhythms of life have become more meaningful as I engage with the Hebrew months in a spiral. Each year, I return to the same energies and seasonal tones, yet I touch something higher and deeper. Like a spiral staircase, I ascend through time.
Each Hebrew month is a portal guiding us on a path of spiritual growth and grounding us through embodied practice. The spirituality that worked for many before—rooted in hierarchical systems—is no longer resonating. Spiritual seekers don’t care about merely receive knowledge or guidance from a leader, rabbi, or guru. No honey, they want to co-create their own magic and be a leader. They’re wishing to give and receive equally, have their voice be heard, and be empowered to form their own healing path to wholeness.
The power of circle consciousness is that there is not a sole leader or follower; each person’s authentic presence holds the circle, creating a space where others can trust more deeply. Kabbalah views this feminine way of being as the Messianic future, expressed in Miriam’s Circle Dance after the splitting of the Sea. In the embodied posture of the circle, our hearts are vulnerably facing each other and we are all equidistance from the center-and that center is the Divine! We are rooted in the present, and feel truth in our bones.
People are yearning for a more wholesome, connected experience of spirituality. My calling is to bring this direct experience to community where belonging meets the sacred.
“One could say that the idea of Israel counting [its months] according to the moon is that the moon has time when it is at the peak of its darkness and you don’t even see a glimmer of light, but even at that peak of darkness you know that it will start to give light again and even return to its fullness.So, too, with the life of the Jewish people, which follows the example of the moon; the order of life for the Jewish people is that it has consecutive periods of darkness, and so many of its days are in exile where they suffer many evil challenges. However, Israel counts according to the moon so that even at the peak of their darkness, they know that they will return to give much light as they once did.”
“Just as a circle has no beginning or end and every point is equidistant from its center, so is this true for souls. Truly, it is impossible to rank them, for each is the most beloved in the scale of values that is its perfected virtue.
Each creature will eventually attain its full potential and shine with the unique revelation of Divine beauty that only it can manifest. The spiritual bliss of the world to come is the intensely abiding joy of finally becoming who you are. When that happens the distorting veneer of hierarchy will melt away and, behold, we will find ourselves standing in a circle with HaShem (G-d) at its center, and we will dance together in holy celebration.
In the circle world, it will be gloriously clear that every soul is equally precious and singularly beautiful in a way that cannot be ranked. Similarly, it will not anymore be possible to look to one’s neighbors for guidance in serving G‑d, for each person has a unique soul-specialty, and in that area they are the world’s foremost expert. There is nowhere to look for instruction except straight from HaShem (G-d), who metaphorically sits at the circle’s center, equidistant from all its holy points….
Miryam phrased her song in the present tense for she was actually holding that consciousness within herself as she sang and danced. The lights of the circle world are so vast that they cannot fit into the brain as an isolated organ of consciousness. They require full body participation (for example in dance), and even a collection of them in coordinated activity (in this case all women) to create a container sufficiently spacious to hold their revelations. Moshe spoke in future tense, for he knew about circle consciousness, and that it would eventually reign, but he could not, in the present, access that state himself.”
