Chloe Valdary is not Jewish. Valdary grew up in New Orleans, in a family that belonged to the Seventh-Day Sabbatarian Christian Intercontinental Church of God. In 2015, Valdary graduated magna cum laude from the University of New Orleans, earning a BA in international studies. She's an American Black that knows a lot about Judaism and Israel. She received much of her philosophy and love of Judaism fromher father when being interviewed on JBS by Rabbi Golub. I wondered about how a Christian could be following so much ofJudaism, as she didn't mention her Christian religion was 7th Day Adventists. It's pretty well known that their holy dayis also Saturday, like the Jews. This group has borrowed muchthat of Judaism that they follow, evidently.
APAC sponsored an Israeli tour that she was on. She hastaken many differently sponsored tours already which hashelped her write about Israel.
A book she has written is Passage to Israel with Karen Lehrman Bloch which is found on Amazon.Chloé Simone Valdary is an American writer and entrepreneur whose company, Theory of Enchantment, teaches social and emotional learning in schools, as well as diversity and inclusion in companies and government agencies.
Chloé Valdary is the founder of Theory of Enchantment, a diversity and resilience training company that the 27-year-old African American entrepreneur runs from Downtown Brooklyn. Its website lists clients including TikTok, WeWork, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Greenwich High School, and asks potential customers a loaded question: “Looking for an antiracism program that actually fights bigotry instead of spreading it?” With her religious and Black experience, she feels she has hit on the best way to combat hatred; with a lot of love. I don't get how that's going to help the Palestinians and Jews, but some have already been practicing a connection of mutual getting along. Perhaps she saw it on one of her trips.
