About Ana:
Ana Sazanov’s life began in Ukraine. She wasn’t aware of her Jewish roots until the collapse of the Soviet Union, when her family moved to Israel. During her years in Israel, she developed a strong Jewish and Zionist identity. After serving in the IDF and gaining a degree in Business/Economics, she took a position in Jewish communal work in the US, working as an Israel Fellow at Emory University Hillel. This led to a passion for Jewish Education and Jewish Professional Leadership, another degree, and a position as Executive Director at the Jewish Federation in South Carolina. However, when war broke out in Ukraine, Ana answered the call to support her homeland and has been working on the front lines of humanitarian aid in Ukraine. Ana Sazonov's life journey is a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and the power of giving back. In recognition of her remarkable contributions, Ana was selected in 2023 to be part of the Hadassah List of 18 Women shaping the future of Zionism.
