Keren Blum

Rebbetzin Keren Blum’s first spoken language is Yiddish; Hebrew is her second, though it would never be apparent upon initially meeting her. A Brooklyn native, Rebbetzin Blum grew up in a small family of immigrant parents and grandparents. Her diverse educational experiences have included Yeshiva of Flatbush, public school, Hampshire College, and Machon Chana Women’s Institute. She earned a B.A. in the study of Nutrition and Poverty and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Teachers College Columbia University. Her passions include social justice work, learning, and more recently raising the five Blum children to be the finest expressions of humanity they can possibly achieve.

Keren joined Rabbi Blum as the Rebbetzin at Chabad at Columbia University in 1997 when they married.
