The Wilderness of Adolescence...
Sara Sapadin graduated from high school in the last century (1996), but it seems like just yesterday we were sitting in Dorm 1 with Karin Rinderknecht working on The Legend (see photo below). The dorms have long since been torn down and T he Legend has become The Scribe -- but the memories of those times still live on. That’s what Sara writes about here. As she prepares to send her oldest son off to high school, she relives her own journey through the wilderness of adolescence and comes out the other side to offer up some good advice. Sara has been busy since left Parker! She went to college (Harvard), moved to New York City, moved back to San Diego, and followed that up with Rabbinical School at HUC-JIR (Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion), where she studied in Cincinnati, New York, and Jerusalem. She now works as an Associate Rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in New York City. She is married to Dan Sapadin and they have four children, ages 12, 9, 7, and 5. Ra
