Avichag Ohayon is a passionate educator, community builder, and lifelong learner. Born in France to a North African Jewish family and raised in the UK, Avichag has always thrived at the intersection of cultures. She earned a BA in Jewish Studies from the University of Oxford before living in Israel, New York, and the Netherlands, gaining experience in education, Jewish programming, and peer-to-peer support along the way. In Helsinki, Avichag serves as Jewish Program Director, running community programs, teaching Hebrew and Jewish Studies, and spearheading initiatives like the community’s first collaborative women's Megillah reading and revolutionising the Bnei Mitzvah program. Raising four spirited daughters, Avichag is committed to being part of a Jewish world where women have as many opportunities in our communities as outside of them.
