Brachi Kaff

She prepares the Jerusalem Hub for every event and restores the space once participants have gone home. She also manages A-to-Z maintenance, ensuring that all equipment is functioning smoothly.

Brachi brings her eye for detail and her strong organizational skills to Temech’s daily operations, always eager to learn, improve, and creatively problem-solve when needed.
