Religious School
We are excited to welcome our new Religious School Director, Leah Miller!
Leah Miller brings with her a great deal of experience, exuberance and passion for Jewish education. She has worked with several congregations across the country and has nearly 15 years of experience working in youth, adult and community-wide programming. Leah is originally from Sacramento, California, and received her undergraduate degree from Arizona State University. After discovering her passion for working with Jewish nonprofits, specifically synagogues, she moved to Baltimore and completed her Master’s degree in Leadership in Jewish Education and Communal Service at Towson University through the Baltimore Hebrew Institute.
Leah has worked in multiple JCCs, education programs and camps. Her passion for community building and engaging the Jewish community is what motivates her every day. Leah also believes wholeheartedly in experiential education and project-based learning. Most recently, she was the Assistant Director of Young Family Education & Programming at Ohr Kodesh Congregation in Chevy Chase, managing the religious school as well as all programming for children ages 0-5.
In her spare time, Leah enjoys traveling, watching movies and TV, musical theatre, and eating and making sushi. Leah lives in Maryland with her husband, Michael, and their children Wesley and Sophie and is looking forward to moving to Northern Virginia.

Ruach Playlist on Spotify
Our Ruach Spotify Playlist includes the songs sang together during the 2021-2022 school year. The playlist will continue to be updated as we share new music with the students this year. Our Ruach Specialists also created a Ruach High Holiday Playlist. If you do not already have an account with Spotify, you can download the app for free and begin listening. The free version is not nearly as flexible and exciting as the for-a-fee version, but it is a place to start and is worth a try.
