Paula Haras
Paula Haras has been an educator for over 30 years. She began in private Jewish schools and now she is an educator in a public school board in Canada. After her UJA mission trip to Israel in July 2024, she felt it is critical to advocate for the Jewish community in hopes to make a difference for the next generation. She calls out lies, hate and injustice in hopes of exemplifying an educator that is never a by-stander.
Paula’s Jewish Heritage Hero is Anne Frank. She is inspired by Anne’s unrelenting hope and ability to keep a record of her experiences, which helped shape future generations’ definition of “Never forget”.
