Moriyah is also a poet. She has a book that just came out and publishes short prose.

She likes combining Judaism, Zohar and art.

“I was looking to teach and found Kol Tzofayich,” she said. “It sounded like an amazing opportunity for me.”

She now teaches grades 7-12, introducing them to the ceramic world. The older ones learn pottery and sculpting, including more conceptual ideas and connecting to emotions and expression.

This type of hands-on creativity is also a chance to connect with her students.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet the students in a special zone, where things come up during creating, and other subjects come up that would never have come up otherwise. It’s an opportunity for a very special bond to be made. During this time I feel that it’s a process built of trust, building their own way of expressing themselves and believing in themselves.”
