About Ava Marjorie

I’m Ava, a New Yorker, student journalist, and podcaster. As the host of Nice To Meet Jew, I explore the many ways Jews live their lives and express their identities. I also write on topics ranging from cellphone policies to the latest art exhibits and fashion trends. My goal isn’t just to retell stories, but to weave together different experiences and ideas into one work of art.

Podcasts

Hosted by 18-year-old Ava Marjorie, Nice to Meet Jew is a podcast that explores the vast diversity of the Jewish community through stories that are moving, relatable, sometimes hilarious, and occasionally heartbreaking. Her guests — a comedian, a dancer, an environmentalist, a fashion designer, a Holocaust survivor, and more — reveal the many ways Jewish identity can be lived, questioned, and expressed.

Sometimes Judaism is at the center of the conversation, and sometimes it barely comes up. But there’s a connection that ties these people together, even if it isn’t always visible. Each episode celebrates the truth that there’s no single way to be Jewish — and that’s exactly what makes Jewish identity so rich!
