Growing up in Jerusalem is more than the Bible and War. Noa takes you on a poignant and humorous journey through her life. Experience a completely different side of Israel with stories of childhood adventures, outrageous matchmaking and all the love in between.

Born and raised in Israel, Noa Baum was an actress at Jerusalem Khan Theater, studied with Uta Hagen in NYC, and holds an M.A. from NYU. Noa offers a unique combination of performance art and practical workshops that focus on the power of narrative to heal across the divides of identity. In a world where peace is a challenge in the schoolyard and beyond, Noa’s work builds bridges of understanding and compassion. 

Noa is the recipient of Storytelling World Awards, the Anne Izard Storytellers Choice Award, LDS Publishers Professionals Association Award, Numerous Individual Artist Awards from MSAC and Montgomery County, and the Recommended Parent's Choice Award.

“[Noa Baum] spreads cultural truths that eclipse geopolitical boundaries...” - The Washington Post

“Noa uses her personal experience, exceptional talent, and nationality to convey the intense politics of diversity, while keeping us connected to our hearts and humanity.” - Julie Oyegun, Director, World Bank Group, Diversity Programs
