Nestled in the foothills of the San Francisco Peninsula, just north of Silicon Valley, is the small community of Woodside, which insists on being called a town. Herein are the tales of the indigenous Ohlone culture, Spanish and Mexican periods, logging of the magnificent redwoods, settlement by European and other pioneers, and Woodside's incorporation as a town. There are no traffic lights, sidewalks, or roads named "streets," making Woodside seem anachronistic. Horses have the right-of-way, and the main road through town, a state highway, is closed for the annual May Day Parade. Defining rural may be elusive, yet residents would agree that the narrow roads, open spaces, and plentiful trees contribute to its rural character.
From Chaos to Order tells the story of a dedicated educator, Tamar Lubin, whose sole purpose in life to provide quality education to the students of the MIS Hebrew Academy. Years of hard work and dedication was poured into the rising of the academy, in establishing a firm foundation, and in creating what the MIS Hebrew Academy is now today, only to be brought down by those whom she never expected to do such. Unfortunately, not all good work is reciprocated. Sometimes, disappointments and let-downs arise. Join Tamar as she unveils the history of the MIS Hebrew Academy and as she shares her life within the walls of the school, as an educator who has made it her life to put the sake of her students’ and their parents’ lives ahead of hers. This is a story of sweet success and bitter betrayal. This is Tamar Lubin’s story.
