For Gabrielle, pursuing a Jewish Studies minor allows her to learn about different aspects of her heritage. She believes in the importance of storytelling and that, even when fictional, writing requires a person to understand their background. Exploring various topics across the minor has allowed Gabrielle to strengthen her connection to her identity and create a deeper connection to the Jewish community.
