I’m Haley Price, a recent transplant from sunny Los Angeles and I have a passion for all things Judaism. Growing up I went to Jewish school and loved celebrating the holidays with my peers and family. Joining Jewish clubs in college helped me refocus on my faith and really understand the impact I want to make on my community. I am so fortunate to join the Noar team this year and cannot wait to learn and grow with the kids!
