Most assume my Hebrew name is Yardena since my English name is Jordana. Actually, it’s Yonina, after my maternal grandfather, Yonah. When asked to write about doves, I immediately said yes – it’s my name! Yonina, Yona, Dove.

The symbolism of the dove resonates deeply with who I am and the work I do:
- The dove returns to the ark with an olive branch, symbolizing peace and harmony. Through my podcast, community projects, and teaching, I strive to foster connection, understanding, and unity, helping others live in peace with themselves and those around them.
- The dove represents purity and sincerity. Whether sharing Torah insights, interviewing inspiring women, or uplifting others, I approach my work with authenticity and a commitment to meaningful connection.
- The dove’s unwavering loyalty mirrors my devotion to my family, community, and faith. I aim to spread positivity, wisdom, and spiritual nourishment.
- The dove sent from Noah’s ark symbolizes hope and new beginnings, a message I strive to share with others. Helping people find resilience through Torah, embrace their unique journeys, and transform challenges into opportunities is my passion.
- Doves also represent divine inspiration and elevation. I work to help others connect with something greater, whether through Torah teachings, exploring the soul’s power through music, or inspiring spiritual and emotional growth.
