Her global production experience includes capacity building, creative development, and production of Sesame Street series’ adaptations in Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Israel/Jordan/Palestine and Latin America. Estee holds degrees in New Media and Economics and prior to moving to US studied Art, Design, and Classical Piano in Batumi (Georgia) and Moscow (Russia).

Growing up in a Georgian Jewish family, Estee was surrounded with love and dedication to Jewish traditions, customs and culture. Her involvement with Jewish organizations began early on as participant in Jewish learning and camps in Georgia, continued with the Israeli Culture Center in Moscow, and upon immigration to USA evolved into leadership and volunteering with such organizations as JICNY, UJA, CGJ, and Hineni. Estee is thrilled to be part of LIMMUD FSU’s organizing committee.
I do Limmud because I love the diverse and vibrant community that comes together to learn, share, and have fun connecting with our roots!
