I am passionate about sharing my Iraqi Jewish story and writing, and would love to share it with your community or school. To book a speaking engagement or reading email me sarah@sarahsassoon.com. 

“Thank you Sarah! Your visit not only inspired the kids but lifted the level of our book week; students and teachers will remember your story. 😊”-
“Sarah’s passion for the topic came through in her teaching. What I have to say is that everybody should take this lectures as a point of duty because it will take us all to a long way in Judaism.”-
“Overall very enjoyable. Interviews with significant people were excellent.” I found your passion for the subject contagious and my interest grew more and more each week.”-
“Many years ago when I did the Tanach course Sarah did the lesson on Ezra. She made it all come alive and feel so relevant.”-
“I am so happy that I was able to attend this course. Sarah bought a warmth, sensitivity, insight and a wealth of knowledge. Once again she brought the subject to life. Thank you all so much.”-
