Denny Frank

Denny Frank was born and raised on Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi in the Upper Galilee and also spent part of her childhood immersed in the Jewish community of New Jersey. Her journey through Jewish life and Israel has taken many forms: from Camp Tawonga in Northern California, to Diller Teen Fellows, Shnat Sherut (“year of service”) in Ayalim on the Gaza border, and work with BINA in Tel Aviv.

During her IDF service, Denny served in the Education Corps, guiding soldiers from challenging backgrounds. She later became the Diller Teen Fellows coordinator in Rishon Lezion for the Greater MetroWest (New Jersey) partnership, and also worked as Community Manager at Haachim, a social impact company in Tel Aviv.
