Meet Your Assistant Director: Leora Balk

Time to meet your GIVE WEST assistant director Leora Balk! Leora was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. After attending high school in her hometown, she spent a year in Israel at Michlalah and then returned to the States to study Jewish Education as a member of the Legacy Heritage program at Stern College for Women. Now that she has graduated, Leora will be working at SKA High School for Girls teaching Tanach and assisting in student activities while working on her Master’s at Azrieli School of Jewish Education and Administration. Leora has worked within Central East NCSY for three incredible years, two as an advisor and, this past year, flying back and forth from New York as city director of Cincy NCSY. She spent many great summers in camp growing up, but her most unforgettable were definitely the two spent on NCSY Michlelet! After two summers working as a counselor at Camp HASC, Leora decided to return last summer to the wonderful world of NCSY Summer programs as an advisor on TJJ. Leora is so excited to be joining the GIVE WEST 2015 team and looks forward to a most incredible summer with all of you!
