Susan Baum, parent

With a daughter just finishing her first year at Stern Women's College, Susan Baum believes that giving to scholarships is the most effective way to ensure that Jewish education continues. That's why she and her husband Michael Baum have created two endowed scholarships at Stern College: the Michael and Susan Baum Scholarship, and a scholarship in memory of Fred Baum and Earl Katz. “Educating a Jewish child is the key to the future of the Jewish people,” says Susan. “It's important-especially in the secular communities-to keep kids involved and connected, and what better way to do this than through a Jewish education?"
