Chicago-born Sarah came to Israel in 1959. At Kibbutz Nahal-Oz she met and married husband Aharon Levin, with whom she has raised two daughters (and lately, grandson Itamar). After a brief return to the U.S. they settled in Ashdod where Sarah taught English for ten years, served on the City Council for a while, and then was elected Executive Director of Na’amat, which position she held for twelve years. At her “retirement” she took over the Council for the Elderly which, during thirteen years, she has built up and developed into a major institution for social services and assistance to the elderly.
This year she was given a national award in recognition of these 13 years of devoted volunteer work. In addition she was chosen as “Yekirat Ashdod” (for outstanding – no, extraordinary – contribution to the City).
As a long-time member and supporter of the Etz Haim Conservative Synagogue Sarah has rendered important services, and she is a valued veteran member of ESCA.
