About Me

Meorah Ha-Me’ir is the Founder & Creative Director of BARA Worldwide (a nonprofit dedicated to breaking the cultural barriers around Torah-observant Judaism) and House of Judah™ (a brand that’s redefining Jewish apparel and elevating the representation of Judaism through streetwear — available at www.houseofjudah.co). Through both of these ventures, Meorah is making Judaism more accessible by creating a bridge between mainstream culture and observant Jewish lifestyles. Her personal mission is to inspire Jews of all backgrounds to return to the values of Torah & mitzvot by voicing her support of the observant community which she believes is greatly misunderstood and often poorly perceived. As a Korean-American Jew aspiring to live both authentically and observantly, Meorah embraces her unique Jewish identity and hopes to encourage others to do the same.
