76: Teaching Judaism Using Different Modalities with Nechama Liba Backer

Nechama Liba Backer expressed interest in Judaic studies, art, and working with people from a young age and has been involved ever since! She earned an Associates Degree in Fine Arts and a Bachelors in Judaic Studies after attending two years in seminary in Jerusalem, where she received a teachers certification. After teaching art for years privately and in several institutions in Baltimore, MD, Nechama Liba fulfilled her dream of moving to Israel where she currently resides. She now teaches Judaics and art mainly online to students of all ages and stages. Her philosophy is that learning, especially Torah, should be an experience of joy and connection. She uses body movement, art, dialogue, music, and journaling as channels to accomplish this goal.
