Meet Penina

Regardless of what topic Penina speaks on, her audiences always come away enlightened and inspired.  Whether she’s telling her own personal story, speaking on the subject of Judaism and Christianity or giving a motivational talk, Penina’s dynamic style and personal warmth allows her audience to connect with her on a profound level and always leaves listeners wanting more.

Born into a secular Jewish family, and faced with a traumatic childhood, Penina embraced Christianity while in High School. However, after 17 years in leadership in the Christian and Hebrew-Christian communities, Penina Taylor’s studies brought her to a revelation that turned her world upside down, and in 2000, Penina embraced the Faith of her forefathers by returning to Judaism.

Now, as a Jew who has “come home”, Penina shares her story in the hopes of giving strength and encouragement; empowering the Jewish community in its fight against influences that spiritually threaten the Jewish people.

An author, speaker, seminary and yeshiva lecturer, and Executive Director of Shomrei Emet Institute, Penina regularly answers questions from Jews and non-Jews alike on Jewish/Christian Polemics, Israel and its relationship with Evangelical Christianity, Developing an Intimate Relationship with God,  finding balance and fulfillment in life as well as other inspirational topics.
