Sabrina Shemesh

By Jared Kristall as told by Sabrina Shemesh

Sabrina was born in Israel, and came to the United States in 1985 at the age of 26. She came over with her husband, who immigrated for a new position with his company. After relocating a few times, Sabrina, her husband, and her 3 children settled in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. In Newton Sabrina worked at local Synagogues where she helped kids prepare for their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, including me. Sabrina has now returned home to Israel where she can spend more time with her family.
