Shayna joined Ruach Israel in the summer of 2016 after moving back to the East Coast, where she had grown up and attended college. She quickly plugged into a music team, started lay leading services as a shlichat tzibbur and became one of the leaders of the congregation’s Boston-based young adult community, CityRuach, and resident of its corresponding community house, Ruach House. Shayna is the first person to fill the role of Community Coordinator which she started in the fall of 2017.
