Welcome to another episode of our Pre-Pesach series! We are having an amazing conversation with Mrs. Sharon Richter, or as some know her, Morah Sarah.

Mrs. Richter has been the Lower School Associate Principal of Judaic Studies at Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy (SAR) since 2005. She began her career at SAR in 1986 as a Judaic studies teacher after receiving a bachelor’s degree in Judaic studies from Stern College for Women at Yeshiva University.
