Eliana Light
she/her
Eliana Light is cultivating a more connected world by making the urgent spiritual wisdom of Jewish liturgy and prayer practice (t’fillah) accessible and meaningful through her prayer leadership, consulting, teaching, and the Light Lab, a center for t’fillah education. Eliana has shared her unique “t’fillahsophy” as faculty at national Jewish education and songleading conferences, as a guest teacher at Hebrew Union College, the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Academy for Jewish Religion, and Limmud, and at synagogues, day schools, camps, and communities across North America.
Eliana Rhymes (About Jewish Times!), her fifth album of playful, thoughtful original Jewish music, was released this fall. In 2023, she was awarded the Covenant Foundation’s Pomegranate Prize, and is this year’s Covenant Jewish Family Education Fellow. Eliana earned her Masters in Jewish Experiential Education from the JTS in 2016 and is based in Durham, NC.
