Faces of Israel is Amy’s first documentary film. While Amy’s passion for film is new, her love of Israel dates back to her first trip there as a young child.  Amy has been involved in the Jewish community in many capacities, from leading teen trips and teaching Hebrew school classes in the New York area, to guest lecturer appearances at conferences and universities across the country.

Amy is a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University where she pursued a degree in International Relations and Jewish Studies.  Amy worked in management consulting for two years following graduation while putting the finishing touches on the Faces of Israel film.  She is now touring the country with Faces of Israel and continues to expresses her creative side through dance and film.  (Amy has danced with several performing arts companies over the past 6 years.)

Amy was raised in Leonia, New Jersey with her parents and 2 sisters. She attended the Frisch School in Paramus, New Jersey for high school, followed by a year of religious study at Midreshet Lindenbaum in Jerusalem.

Amy lives with her husband, Yair, in Riverdale, New York.
