Moriah Bradley is described as someone who "selflessly uses her artistry and professionalism to serve with a full heart every day." She's a teacher, an artist, a social worker, a dancer, and a mom.

She is passionate about Jewish education, and that shines through in her work at Chicago Jewish Day School where she is a kindergarten teacher, heads several school committees promoting Jewish life and leads school dance workshops with hundreds of participants.

She continues serving the Jewish community on weekends, teaching synagogue parent-tot classes, and spends her summers working at Jewish camps. She's also a Zumba instructor who leads her students in Israeli dance and somehow she still finds time to bake challah with her kids each Shabbat to drop off for family and friends.
