Sabra was established to promote community togetherness. Owners Helen and Monty wanted to serve kosher, high quality authentic food that will remind the diners of their roots. It seems to work well. Monty is the operations manager and entertainment coordinator. He comes to Tucson with over 30 years of business and managerial experience. He opened and managed a company that produced promotional items. Monty was a singer in the Israel Army group "Golani" and was an entertainer in Las Vegas. Monty established "Hallelujah", a Los Angeles restaurant and nightclub where he performed. Monty wants to enhance Tucson with a place for people to enjoy Mediterranean culture. Helen is the golden hands behind food preparation. "I love to cook and see people enjoying my creations" she says. Helen has studied all over the world to perfect her culinary talents. Her love for cooking began in her home, watching her mother and grandmother prepare family favorites. Helen studied at Tidmor Culinary School in Israel, Le Cordon Bleu in Belgium and at Seneca College in Canada. Helen worked for the Israeli government in Kenya, Africa. During her free time, Chef Helen taught Israeli cooking to the chefs in the resorts and hotels of Nairobi. When the Israeli army or dignitaries visited, they were able to eat a home cooked meal. Since moving to Tucson, Helen has catered various affairs for Congregation Young Israel, Congregation Anshei Israel, and Temple Emanu-El. Helen has catered many private parties, holiday meals and meals of consolation. "Sabra is a dream come true," remarks its head chef. "My goal is to incorporate Jewish and Israeli recipes for all to try. I want people to feel at home here. They can dine on healthy kosher food while enjoying friends, Israeli music, live entertainment or Karaoke." Sabra's success can also be attributed to Chef Aaron Hilliard, former Executive Chef of "Charles Restaurant" a Four Diamond French Continental Restaurant. Chef Aaron is a native of Chicago who has resided in Tucson for twenty years. He apprenticed under four accomplished World Class Chefs and is trained in a variety of ethnic cuisines. Aaron prides himself in the ability to offer a wide range of diverse culinary delights. His is a saucier, specializing in sauces, soups and stocks.
