Jill Sadowsky

Jill Sadowsky was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and studied nursery school teaching in Cape Town. She and her husband Alec came to live in Israel in 1963. Here she studied special education and received a degree enabling her to teach children with special needs. Nowadays, she tutors children at home and volunteers for ENOSH, the Israel Mental Health Association.

Jill Sadowsky regales us with her experience when she saw a snake in her kitchen. Petrified, she called her kids who explained that the snake, Ollie, was harmless. Ollie was a hognose snake that liked to “perform” by playing dead. Later, at a job interview, this information helped her impress the head of the Biology department and got her the job as P.R. assistant. Her amusing account won her honorable mention in ESRA’s literary competition.
