Conversations with Heroes - The Secret to Jodi Samuels’ Trailblazing Success

Updated: Oct 14, 2020

As seen on Israel News Talk Radio


New York City’s Jewish community would never be the same after Jodi and Gavin Samuels’ arrival in December 2000. On this week’s show, Jodi tells Heather what compelled them to launch Jewish International Connection New York (JICNY) just months after they moved to Manhattan, and why 10,000 people from 40 countries have come to JICNY’s events and classes. JICNY provides its participants with the resources and opportunities to develop personal relationships with like-minded Jewish professionals, and connect with Jewish observance at an optimal personal level. The organization is also an access point for all aspects of the Jewish experiences, including networking, volunteering, Israel advocacy, Shabbat dinners, Jewish cultural programming, and content-rich classes that appeal to individuals of all backgrounds and affiliations.
