Sarah, our 2017 Offarim Merakezet, has been nicknamed “Giggles.”  It won’t take more than you asking her how she got the nickname to figure it out– she just can’t help but smile and laugh!

Sarah was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico but her family now lives in Parkland, Florida.  She’s a student at American University studying International Relations in the Middle East.

Like many of her relatives, Sarah spent her summers at Camp Judaea; attending as a camper from Offarim through Chalutzim, then working on our Tsevet as an MIT one session and Madricha for two summers. Her favorite CJ memory (so far) is exploring New York City with her walking group in Kesher.  She is thrilled and ready to arrive for her 11th Camp Judaea summer and to lead Offarim!

Last year Sarah participated in a gap year program called Kivunim during which she lived in Israel and traveled to many places all around the world which are rich in Jewish history. When Sarah isn’t at school or camp, she is running half marathons, playing soccer, cooking, and doing omanut (arts and crafts) . 🙂
