Jamie Mittleman
Jamie Mittleman is a creator, actor, musician, and educator currently living in Tel Aviv. Before moving to Tel Aviv, Jamie had the opportunity to explore her creative landscape in New York City and loves infusing creativity into every area of her life and teaching. Jamie received her degree in acting at Binghamton University and later graduated from the William Esper Studio for acting. While in college, she began singing in an a cappella group, later founded one in NYC, and now runs Kolot Hayam, a Jewish high school singing competition and retreat. She also runs Ramah Performs, a performing arts program at Camp Ramah Nyack.
Jamie found her love of Judaism during her freshman year of High School when her mom pushed her to go to a one-week program run by USY (United Synagogue Youth). She was very moved by watching hundreds of teens come together to sing, to pray, to learn, and to commit themselves so deeply to a life of social action. Ever since that week, she has continued to be a life-long Jewish learner and educator, and of course, a fluent Hebrew speaker!
Jamie loves working with students to help them to find their own unique voices and ways of learning and infusing it all with creativity, thought-provoking conversations, and fun.
