Shayna Netanya is an American-born writer, content creator, and co-host of the Podcast & Live show, Am Yisrael Thrive. After making Aliyah from California in October 2026, she settled in Netanya, where she is learning all about the art of starting over. Drawing on a background in theater and psychology, she writes about Jewish identity, Israeli life, and the unexpected encounters that make a new country feel like home. Her blog, “The Adventures of Shayna Netanya: An American Olah in Israel,” follows that unfolding story with humor, curiosity, and a willingness to be the stranger in the room.
