The Director
Sara is originally from Philadelphia and has lived and worked in the US, China and Israel, in roles spanning corporate strategy, venture capital and social finance. In 2015, Sara made Aliyah to Israel and completed a voluntary service in an elite intelligence unit in the Israel Defense Forces. She served as the Prime Minister of Israel’s Advisor for Foreign Affairs (2018-2019) and today remains active in political and social affairs while also managing a family investment office. She also chairs the impact investment arm of the Seed the Dream Foundation, focused on empowering women and fostering educational opportunities for marginalized communities in Israel.
Sara also started a non-profit InsideIL that sends MBA students to Israel for summer internships, played in the Women's Lacrosse World Cup on the Israeli national team, and volunteers with numerous organizations involved with Israel and Holocaust education.
Sara did her undergraduate studies in economics at Yale University and received a joint master's degree in business administration and public policy from Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business School, where she was active in Jewish and Israel-related affairs. She has written about Israel and antisemitism for various publications.
In Sara’s final semester at Yale as part of a project for a class taught by Dr. Ruth Westheimer entitled “Family and the Jewish Tradition” Sara produced B-2247: A Granddaughter’s Understanding. The film originated out of a trip Sara took with her family in 2005 to Eastern Europe to visit the hometowns of her mother’s parents who had both survived the Holocaust. Moved and appalled by what she saw—particularly after visiting Auschwitz with her grandfather—Sara was to determined to one day share her grandparents’ story with the rest of the world.
