Morah Heather has spent her entire career engaged in helping others, working with children, and furthering education. After college, she worked for various child-focused non-profit organizations involved with the NJ Department of Youth and Family Services (now the Department of Children & Families) and with adults with disabilities. In 2000, she left her position as the Executive Director of a non-profit organization to stay home and raise her children.
Shortly after leaving the work force, it was time for her own children to attend religious school. She enrolled in the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ’s Project Moreh teacher training program and started teaching at her local synagogue. From there, her love of Jewish education was born!
Since then, Heather has spent over 15 years as a Jewish educator, holding various positions including classroom teacher, youth group advisor, Hebrew resource teacher, B’nai Mitzvah tutor, and Education Director. With everything Heather does, she brings her enthusiasm, creativity, love of Israel, and passion for Jewish education alive to her learners, teachers, and families.
In her spare time, Heather enjoys playing tennis and camping with her husband Mike and their dog Jack Jack. She loves spending time with her children: Alex and his wife Kara, Jason and his fiancé Nikki, and Tyler. She also can’t forget about her grand dog Luna and grand cat Turbo!
