Naava Shafner was born in the USA, but her soul took flight the first time she breathed the Jerusalem air. After making Aliya at age 12 with her family, she finished high school in Jerusalem, and did two years of national service helping disadvantaged populations. She has a degree in Political Science and Communications from Bar Ilan. In 2014 Naava co-founded ImaKadima, an organization that supports career minded mothers and advocates for family friendly workplaces. ImaKadima has over 5,000 members that support each other every day. Naava's hallmark is her passion- for Jerusalem, for career minded moms, for her family, and for making sure Israel lives up to its potential to be an "Or Lagoyim", a light unto the nations. You can usually find Naava searching for a donut, extolling the benefits of being a career minded mother, fighting for women's rights, or trying to keep up with her three energetic children, together with her partner-in-crime Ari.
