Sharon B. Wasserberg,
Director of Education |
EMAIL:
sharon@adath-israel.org
Sharon Wasserberg earned her BA at Northern
Illinois University in De Kalb Illinois
(back in the 1970’s) where she studied
Sociology and Psychology as well as earning
teacher certification. Twenty years later,
she returned to study at the University of
Judaism in Los Angeles for graduate school.
Following the full-time two year program,
Sharon was awarded a MAED and B.Lit.
(Bachelors of Hebrew Letters and
Literature). During that 20 year gap, Sharon
taught Religious School, directed a Stepping
Stones Program, and was a Sisterhood
president. In her spare time, she had three
children who survived her parenting skills
and become wonderful adults. She was the
director of education at JRC in Evanston
Illinois from 1997-2002 and then served as
the director of education of two
conservative congregations in Milwaukee (at
the same time) and principal of their
three-year combined religious school
program. That ‘experiment’ ended in May
2005. Soon after the decision to close the
school, the school board co-chair in
Milwaukee, who happens to be a life-long
friend of Adath Israel’s Leslie Newman,
recommended that Sharon contact Adath Israel
as they were looking for a new educator.
