Dr. Saundra Sterling Epstein (Sunnie) is a well-known Jewish educator who has worked in many venues and around many topics of Jewish Learning, as well as education in general and critical issues that confront us in our times. Within that work, Sunnie has always been an advocate for the inclusion of all members of our Jewish community, including our LGBTQ+ members, and she has taught extensively, as well as written and published about that inclusion from a Jewish text-informed perspective and religious orientation. Sunnie continues to work with shuls, schools and communities to help them expand their inclusion of LGBTQ+ members. Sunnie and her husband Ken are the parents of four amazing children, three of whom happen to be LGBTQ+. They adore their children, children-in-law, and five granddaughters who keep them busy on their “time off.”
