Imagine weaving Jewish tradition into a life spent traveling the globe—and thriving. On this episode of Schmoozing Time, I talk with Maayan Klein, co‑creator of The Jewish Nomads, who shares how she maintains Jewish ritual and identity while exploring remote corners of the world. We dive into how she celebrates Pesach in off‑the‑grid locations, builds community without borders (including through the Beit HaLev hub in India), practices minimalism and healthy living, and embraces spirituality in everyday moments. Maayan also reflects on how social media enables her to authentically share this journey and inspire listeners to follow their own paths of growth, ritual, and connection.
Maayan Klein travels the world with her husband Ash and children as the family called The Jewish Nomads. Through her platform and community‑building work—including Beit HaLev in India—she shows how Jewish life can flourish in unexpected places. Maayan inspires others to blend simplicity, spirituality, and authenticity in their own journeys.
