Gabi Birkner

As Editorial Director, Learning, I ensure 70 Faces Media’s content makes Jewish learning accessible and engaging for all.

My career has spanned two decades and included reporting, editing, and newsroom leadership roles. I previously served as Managing Editor at JTA, Features Editor at Chalkbeat, and Director of Digital Media at The Forward. My writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, New York Magazine, and many other publications. I am the co-founder of Modern Loss and co-author of “Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome.”

I live in Los Angeles with my husband, two kids, and a bernedoodle named Latke. Call me Gabi.
