  • Biographical NoteSarah Quick was born in Philadelphia 1986. Her grandfather Harry Weinberg came from Poland in 1920s, moved to Pittsburgh, started a scrap metal business and made pickles. His wife, Clara (nee Markowitz) Weinberg (called "Bobie by grandchildren), was born in the United States. Her parents had arrived from Romania, in the early 1920s and settled in Indianapolis. Harry and Clara were from orthodox Jewish families. Sarah moved to New York in 2009, then Brooklyn in 2010. Since the birth of her son Everett, Sarah wants to transmit her Jewish heritage. Jewish Brooklyn is very engrained in Brooklyn history.
