About Luxe Jewish Life

Karen Cinnamon knows what it feels like to carry it all and still show up with a smile.

In 2021, she lost her mother. And in the midst of her grief, she found herself writing most evenings — things she was grateful for, reflections on the day, thoughts she needed to get out of her head. It helped. More than she expected.

She looked for a journal rooted in Jewish wisdom to hold that practice. Something beautiful, meaningful and designed specifically for Jewish women. It didn’t exist. So she created it.

That journal became the Jewish Joy Journal, The journal became a method. The method became a movement.

Because it turned out Karen wasn’t the only Jewish woman who was overwhelmed, disconnected and quietly longing to feel more like herself again. She was just the first one to do something about it.

Today Karen reaches millions of Jewish women every week. As the founder of Smashing The Glass — the world’s biggest Jewish wedding platform — she’s been at the heart of the Jewish community since 2013.

Through @yourjewishlife, an Instagram community of 375,000 followers, she built something even more personal — a space where Jewish women feel understood, seen and celebrated.

Her content went viral after October 7th, and she’s spent the time since figuring out what it really means to help Jewish women feel genuinely happy, calm and proud of who they are — in a world that makes that harder than it should be.

Her work has been featured in the New York Times and the BBC. She’s been named one of the Jewish 100 — the top 100 most influential Jews in the world. And she’s been dubbed the “Oprah of Jewish Joy.” Not her words. But she’ll take it. 😉

Luxe Jewish Life is her most personal creation yet — a love letter to every Jewish woman who has ever shrunk herself, hidden herself or forgotten how extraordinary she is.

You found it. You’re in the right place.
