Sara talks about her family life growing up.  Her parents divorced when she was two, and she has lived in many cities throughout the South.  Her grandparents were in New Orleans, and her father was in Baton Rouge, so Sara often visited in the summers.  She remembers her experiences at Camp Jacob in the summers.  Sara graduated from Louisiana State University and went first to Texas and then to California, where she met Ernest, her husband.  She describes their courtship, wedding at the Bourbon Orleans, and attending synagogue together in San Francisco.  She talks about their decision to move to New Orleans and working in the financial services industry while Ernesto opened and operated a coffee shop, Cafe Luna.  Sara became a resource for her coworkers following Hurricane Katrina, helping evacuees and serving as an informal grief counselor to many people.  Sara explains that she was much more involved with the Jewish community before the storm but now is prioritizing time with friends and family.  Cafe Luna became a gathering hub for returning young people to the city, and Sara remembers a line out the door for the first few days they reopened after the storm.  Finally, Sara reflects on her role in the community and her involvement with Hadassah and the Jewish Federation, which has invited her to join their long-range planning committee.  Helping the city and the Jewish community in the recovery is a high priority for Sara.
