Q & A With Jamie Korngold

Authors who reside in picturesque locations are fortunate to live in such environments. Many seek inspiration from their harmonious location while others are driven more by their unique interests.

ATOP the slopes in Boulder, Colorado, is where Rabbi Jamie Korngold, better known as the Adventure Rabbi, joins our Zoom call... smiling from ear to ear.
Having gained the moniker through her Adventure Rabbi programme, which integrates spirituality and the outdoors, she is ready to get her skis on.
“Once we are finished here, I will be tackling the slopes,” she tells me proudly.
Unfortunately for Rabbi Jamie, though, we have much to cover because her life has been quite the fascinating journey so far.
