Rachel Benaim-Abudarham is a storyteller, scholar, and award-winning journalist passionate about bringing Jewish history to life. A third-year PhD student researching how Jewish communities have transmitted wisdom and burdens across generations, Rachel specializes in the lived experiences of diaspora Jews.
For more than a decade, Rachel has traveled the world reporting on religion, migration, and cultural memory for outlets such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, Haaretz, and The Weather Channel. Her work invites readers, and now students, to see the Jewish journey not through hardship, but through meaning and joy.

She is thrilled to share stories of the “other 2,000 years” of Jewish life and help learners discover new perspectives about our global heritage.
