Professor Sarah Tauber is an assistant professor of Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and a rabbinic candidate in the Jewish Renewal network's rabbinic program (Aleph). Sarah's trajectory as a teacher, writer, scholar and activist in the world of education and Jewish community traces its roots to her earliest learning experiences at a Jewish day school in Stamford, CT and to her family's experiences as Holocaust refugees and survivors from Poland. Sarah's commitments to religious education grew out of her passion for teaching and community building as a spiritual practice that generates renewal and restoration, healing and hope. Her career as a teacher began in the public schools of Berkeley, CA and then migrated as she moved across the ocean to Paris, France, and then Geneva, Switzerland. In those European settings she studied Jewish history and immersed herself in rebuilding Jewish life in Europe through leadership in communal education. Upon return to the USA after eight years abroad, Sarah completed her studies in Jewish Education at JTS, taught in a day school for many years before joining the faculty at JTS where she focuses on the intersection of education and students' religious and spiritual lives and learning. She believes in the necessity of interreligious learning and partnership, and along with her participation in the REA teaches at Union Theological Seminary in New York City as an adjunct professor.
