18 Under 18: Lily Mosbacher
Mazel Tov to Lily Mosbacher for being named one of Jewish Atlanta’s 18 Under 18 for 2024.
Lily Mosbacher, 17
Daughter of Jennifer Mosbacher and Mark Mosbacher
Pope High School
Lily’s continued commitment to her local Jewish community is matched only by her interest in journalism and community/public engagement. In addition to reading a Torah portion every Rosh Hashanah since her bat mitzvah, Lily is a member of the KEFTY (Kol Emeth Federation of Temple Youth) Board – where she has held multiple roles and is currently Vice President, an active member at Pope High School’s Jew Crew, and an early member of JFA’s Jump Spark Prototype Leadership Team. After her experience in the final teenage traveling group of Etgar-36 (an organization dedicated to Civil-Rights road trips), Lily became involved in the Democratic Party of Georgia, acting as their first ever communications intern, and attended Elon University’s Emerging Journalists Program. Her writing has been published on the program’s website, and one piece, “Censoring our reading lists does not protect us. It stunts us,” has been published in a blog by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Lily is also a passionate and life-long ballet dancer, currently performing with the British Academy of Performing Arts’ Academy Dance Company, where she holds senior-level status.
