It occurs to me that I have a bio — separate from my secular one — of my Jewish experience, so to speak. Here goes:

Sarah Schmerler is a lay prayer leader at Kane Street Synagogue in Brooklyn. She also likes to attend services and learning events at such places as Shir Hamaalot (Brooklyn), Congregation B’nai Avraham (Brooklyn), Hadar (Online/Manhattan), and the Kohenet Institute (Online), among others. Both her parents were Jewish educators, who taught her that learning is lifelong; and she wants to thank Joey Weisenberg (Hadar, Rising Song Institute) for being her first prayer teacher.

Sarah started leading sabbath services at Kane Street in 2007.
