Ever since I was a young girl, I have enjoyed stories. I wrote myths and fairy tales in elementary school. For a long time, I thought that I might be a journalist. But, my love for Judaism and its sacred stories led me to become a rabbi. Stories that I created for the classroom or pulpit became books that I was lucky enough to have published. When I am not writing Jewish children's books and Jewish teen novels, I am the Director of Congregational Learning at Har Shalom in Potomac, MD. I was ordained in 1997 from Hebrew Union College in New York City. I have worked at Jewish camps, led more Jewish retreat weekends than I can count, and enjoy teaching pre-schoolers, senior adults and everybody in between. I grew up in Columbia, MD, and graduated the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). I am married to David Cohen ' an editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer. We are joyfully raising two children Arianna Shira, who was born in 2001, and Jesse Benjamin, who was born in 2008. Our family includes a Shetland Sheepdog named ToeWho (meaning: Chaos in Biblical Hebrew).
