I’m Daniella Levy, author of Disengagement, By Light of Hidden Candles, and Letters to Josep: An Introduction to Judaism.

My prose and poetry–in English, Hebrew, and Spanish–have been published in numerous literary magazines, anthologies, and online platforms, and I’ve been nominated for a Pushcart Prize for my short fiction. You can read more about my writing here.
To put food on the table, I’m a copy and content writer and Hebrew-English translator.
I also have more than a decade of experience as a empowerment self-defense instructor and I’m certified as a bridal counselor by Nishmat and the Religious Council of Gush Etzion.
I was born in New York, but the first home I remember was in Pittsburgh. I immigrated to Israel with my family as a child, and currently live at the edge of the Judean Desert with my husband, tour guide Rabbi Eitan Levy, and our four children.
