Books That Make Jewish Learning Fun!
Fun Morah Leora Apparel and Gifts
Morah Leora is available for Zoom and in-person book readings, storytelling events, and classes. Children love to hear the author of their favorite Morah Leora books read to them, and adults are enthralled by the growing repertoire of stories that range from the maven of Hotcheplotch to the bagel bakers of New York. Invite Morah Leora into your classroom, community group, or synagogue for an unforgettable experience.
As we approach Chanukah, I am reminded of the profound message it carries for all of us, especially in these very challenging times.

This concept finds a beautiful parallel in the lighting of the chanukiah, where the shamash, the helper candle, spreads its light to the other candles.
As a Jewish educator, I am constantly struck by how much of our history and tradition has been shaped by men.
Using her own little candelabra, my mother Freda lit the candles on Yom Hashoah in 1952, when she was only 10 years old.
Here’s my recipe for the traditional yeasty, cheesecake-filled hamantashen from my childhood in South Africa.
We spent a beautiful day at the San Diego Union Tribune Book Fair. Thanks to all our old and new friends for stopping by.
My deepest heartfelt thanks for making the Mask Mitzvah a best seling book.
