I’m Daniella Levy, author of By Light of Hidden Candles and Letters to Josep: An Introduction to Judaism. My next novel, Disengagement, is forthcoming from Kasva Press in March 2020.
My prose and poetry–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 freelance copy and content writer and Hebrew-English translator for various clients, including a regular part-time gig with MyHeritage.
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 three little boys.
