Talia Blank- Celebrations
Talia is a Linguistics Graduate, and worked for other charities, before joining Shaare Zedek UK in 2012.
Like many who make the transition, she wanted to join a sector whose main focus was on helping others and improving the quality of life for thousands of people and at Shaare Zedek, that’s precisely what she found.
“I have visited Shaare Zedek many times before, and the warm, caring and personal atmosphere that it exudes really moved me. This was the biggest selling point for me.”
