Samuel Greenbaum is recognized among Jewish contributors to Civil Rights & Human Rights — New York Supreme Court justice and president of the Educational Alliance, the settlement house that educated a generation of immigrants on the Lower East Side.
Brought from London to New York at the age of two, Samuel Greenbaum took his law degree at Columbia, practised for twenty-three years, and sat on the New York Supreme Court from 1900 to 1922, ending as an Associate Justice of the Appellate Division. His lasting work was outside the courtroom: president of the Educational Alliance from 1912 to 1926 — the Lower East Side settlement house where hundreds of thousands of immigrants learned English, trades and citizenship — and a trustee of the New York Public Library, the Jewish Welfare Board and the Jewish Theological Seminary. His wife, the philanthropist Selina Greenbaum, has her own page here.
