Sweet and Holy Friends, join Anne Goldberg as she interviews Sherry Stern and Steven Snyder, in our ‘Getting to Know TAO’ series of interviews where we learn more about our TAO friends and members. Sherry and Steven were born and raised in Philadelphia. They have been married for 42 years, live in Minneapolis and snowbird in Fort Lauderdale when they can.
Sherry graduated from Temple University with a B.A in Psychology and an M.Ed. with an emphasis in Therapeutic Recreation. She went on to work in varied careers: Recreation Therapist in Psychiatric Institutions, Sales with emerging computer, phone, hardware and software technology, Teacher of elementary students and Curriculum Designer for the elementary level as well as for college courses. Sherry now volunteers at TAO on the Functional Leadership Board and spearheads the Anti-Racism group. In Minneapolis she uses her organizational skills to administer to the new Twin Cities Jewish Renewal Community, a Network Community of ALEPH.
Steven worked for Microsoft in the early years, and then in 1996 started an internet company that invented what is now known as a recommendation engine: software that recommends what you like. Amazon was the first customer. Steven now serves on the board of Capella University and teaches entrepreneurship at the University of Minnesota. Steven has an undergraduate degree in Math, an MBA from the Harvard Business School, and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota.
Anne Goldberg has been doing personal interviews for more than 15 years as part of TAO’s People of Distinction and her own legacy video business. Most of her work is with boomers and seniors, helping them to know they are old enough to have a past and young enough to have a future – at any age – through her original lecture series, The Art of Living Longer. Currently, she and her partner David Hall, produce The Savvy Seniors Show on YouTube, free content to ‘edu-tain’ folks while under quarantine. A two-term past-president of TAO, Anne chaired the Oneg committee for five years, chaired many events, has been a member of the High Holy Day choir for 14 years and, in the before times, she ran the Power Point virtual Siddur at virtually all of TAO’s Shabbat services since 2014. Anne is delighted to be a part of Getting to Know TAO.
