Growing up in Montreal, Tracy attended private Jewish schools but never felt deeply connected to Judaism through the education system. Instead, her relationship with Judaism was nurtured at home—through Shabbat dinners and holiday traditions shared with family. With grandparents who were Holocaust survivors, Tracy grew up hearing about the tragedies they endured, though for much of her life, those stories felt distant and belonging to the past.

For years, Judaism was a part of her identity, but not something she led with. That changed after October 7th, which awakened something profound within her. It sparked a personal longing to weave Judaism more deeply into her everyday life, and an urgent call to create spaces where her peers could connect meaningfully with Jewish identity, community, and ritual. This became the catalyst for founding Chosen Gatherings.

Tracy brings over 12 years of experience designing and leading retreats, events, and gatherings around the world. She has built global communities across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, welcoming thousands of participants into transformational experiences. She has advised and led creative strategy for wellness and hospitality brands and has been recognized as a visionary entrepreneur and community architect.

With a background in building global communities and a lifelong passion for creating spaces of connection, Tracy is now channeling her energy and expertise into cultivating a new era of Jewish gatherings—blending tradition with contemporary culture, fostering belonging, and inspiring resilience for generations to come.
