B’nai B’rith International is proud to announce the recipients of our 2025 Sally and George Schneider Scholarship, awarded to female Jewish students in the New York City area attending a graduate program in a field benefitting humankind.

This year, the scholarship was awarded to two deserving recipients.

Eden Pinchas is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Strategic Communication at Columbia University while working full time as a General Assembly Consultant at the Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations. Originally from Be’er Sheva, Israel, Pinchas received her bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Haifa. In her communications career, she hopes to represent client organizations in the best light and continue to showcase Israel and the Jewish community in a positive way.

Lily Shtuhl, of Reston, Virginia, will begin a Master of Social Work degree this fall at Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work. As part of her degree, she will participate in the Israel Block program, which allows for dual licensure in both the United States and Israel. She will take courses and complete her field experience at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Shtuhl earned an undergraduate degree in Public Health from the University of Maryland. She plans to become a clinical therapist, working with diverse populations in Israel as well as diaspora Jewish communities.

Sally Schneider, born in Brooklyn in 1919, was a voracious reader and a passionate supporter of Israel who felt strongly that women should be independent and educated. She and her husband, George, were longtime B’nai B’rith members. In 1998, after Sally’s death, the family set up an endowment fund in their honor.
