Yiscah is a thought leader,  spiritual activist and agent of change who addresses the spiritual practice of encountering the Divine spark within — the foundation of authentic living.  In fact, Yiscah views Judaism as a spiritual practice.

 

She relies on Jewish spiritual teachings to inform and uplift her students and audiences, acting as a compass, gently guiding them to their unique inner selves.  As a spiritual trailblazer, Yiscah exemplifies what it means to carve one’s own path, as she has grappled with the entanglements at the intersection of her spirituality, Jewish tradition and passionate desire to live a life of authenticity.  Encouraging, ennobling and empowering others to carve their own paths and to cultivate the integrity to remain faithful to their unique paths is indeed her passion and inner calling.
