Batya (Taylor) Shachar – Actor, Dancer – Matityahu, Israel

Batya (Taylor) Shachar is originally from Boston, but moved to Los Angeles for her formative years. In LA, she worked behind-the-scenes in the music industry. She also performed in a few plays and was a part of a sketch comedy group at Theatre East in Studio City, CA. She loves writing “songs” (poems until they are complete!). Batya has a real knack for the performing arts which she mostly realized during her time in seminary in Israel. She has performed in plays by Rebbetzin Devorah Green and the Women’s Performance Community of Jerusalem, and her most notable work in the hit show ESCALATORS. Batya works in kiruv and taught dance in Yerushalayim. She currently lives in Matityahu settling in to her new family, as she recently remarried. She is humbly thankful to Hashem for His incredible gifts to her, and the opportunity to use them for TOV to entertain and inspire Jewish women.
