Hadassah Lerner Grinberg

Hadassah Lerner Grinberg is the director of community programing for the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley.

Her journey to the Lehigh Valley began in April 2024, following a connection made nine years earlier—meeting her husband at Camp Ramah in the Poconos, where they both served as shlichim, or Israel liaisons, from the Jewish Agency for Israel.

Grinberg was born and raised in Israel, to an American father and British mother, and grew up in a community settlement in Samaria called Peduel. During her national service, she dedicated herself to counseling at-risk children at the Neve Wizo children’s home.

With a passion for communication and storytelling, she pursued a bachelor’s degree in media, majoring in journalism at Ariel University. During her student job at the Jewish Agency, she interviewed and evaluated candidates for the Jewish Agency’s U.S. mission.

Following her academic pursuits, Hadassah embarked on a professional journey that included four years at the Ministries of Transport, Foreign Affairs, and Finance, where she served as a strategic project manager and media advisor for Minister Israel Katz.

After that, she spent two and a half years at Savyon Local Council, directing the spokespersons department with a focus on advocacy, advertising, and PR.

In her leisure time, Hadassah enjoys practicing yoga and taking leisurely walks with her dog.

You can reach her at 610-821-5500, ext. 331.
