About Event
Welcome to the JICNY Guest Speaker series on the Rooftop!
For for Jewish Professionals ages 20s, 30s, 40s
Headlines & Hummus: A Jew and a Gentile Living in Jerusalem!
A cheeky JICNY event with Jodi Samuels & Nicole Jansezian.
Jodi Samuels was a passionate princess living her best life in Manhattan—brunches, Broadway, and Sephora. Eleven years ago she moved to Jerusalem- same passion, more hummus, and a dusty tiara!
Nicole Jansezian moved from NYC to Jerusalem in 2001 as a reporter—armed with curiosity, a press pass, and no clue. She found great stories, an Armenian husband, and accidentally made aliyah.
Join Jodi & Nicole as they share their humorous, and heartfelt journeys from NYC to Jerusalem — swapping brunches for hummus, and Bryant Park for The Carmel Forrest!
