Sarah Hermelin

In Journey Together, Sarah Hermelin combines inspiring Torah examples and moving modern-day stories to truly "bring to life" the mitzvah of counting the Omer for the entire family -- parents and children alike. The author's insights presented here flow out of three decades of experience in the areas of adolescent education, leadership training and development, management coaching and counseling, public speaking, and business. Her formal schooling includes degrees in history, education, and counseling; she is also a graduate of Northwestern University's Executive Development Program. Projects which Sarah has both written and helped direct have won a number of Stevie Awards (the "Oscars" given out for the best productions in the business world). Augmenting Sarah's diverse work experiences are decades of Torah learning and devotion to Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael. Her goal in writing this book is to make Sefirat HaOmer become a transforming experience for all Jewish families who take the time to read Journey Together and apply its insights and lessons to their lives. Sarah lives in Jerusalem with her family.
