Chana has been a featured performer at Songleader Boot Camp, Limmud UK and Limmud South Africa. She has worked with RituaLab, Storahtelling and Philly Fringe Festival to provide arts-based ritual in Jewish communities.

She enjoys time in the woods, baking with her teenage son, and making bead jewelery.
