Since 1985, I have worked with children from every walk of life in Africa and the United States. For me, teaching Jewish values means offering an education to every child in need of one.
MY Mission
Today my mission is to help Jewish parents and teachers bring yiddishkeit to children through my books and appearances. I focus on the beautiful things that bind us together as Jews, like the deeply significant rituals of Havdalah and the festival of Simchat Torah. Through my books, I aim to pass along our Jewish birthright and foster a love for our traditions in a brand new generation.
“Morah Leora’s stories of Simchat Torah and Havdalah are a joy to read in the classroom. The beautiful relationship between Tree and her best friend Bird are a beautiful analog for our relationship to Torah.”
“Morah Leora is awesome!! She makes learning so fun.”
