Eli Gaventa

Eli is an artist and educator. As photographer and film-maker for Tzedek, he was responsible for capturing the work of UK and Ghanaian NGO partners to be made into educational documentaries and fund-raising advertisements.

He then raised more than £1,000 blogging about his Live Below the Line experience. He was a movement worker for Sinai for three years and spent time in this role developing educational and leadership resources, utilising his graphic designer skills.

His bi-annual journal was then distributed across synagogues and schools.

Eli has worked as a cheder teacher at Mill Hill Synagogue, and while studying at Yeshivat Har Etzion acted as a Youth Learning Disabilities Study Partner.

Eli’s desire to use his talents for social action has been recognised by those around him, and his innovative planning and strategies mark him out as a future leader of his generation, and one who will influence Jewish education for years to come.
