Author Susie Schnall Discusses Work/Life Balance
More than 50 women come to hear from Purchase author and learn about UJA-Federation of New York's work

UJA-Federation of New York’s Westchester Women’s Philanthropy heard from Susie Orman Schnall, author of On Grace and The Balance Project on Wednesday, May 6th, at Congregation Emanu-El in Rye. More than 50 women came to hear Schnall, who lives in Purchase, discuss work/life balance and the reality about “having it all.” The gathering also had the opportunity to learn about UJA-Federation’s critical and caring work and the 4.5 million people it helps each year. “An umbrella organization like UJA-Federation helps all of us to address all of the issues, and give to all the causes we feel passionate about,” said Karen Sobel, who chaired the event with Staci Friedwald and Allison Wohl, all of Purchase.
