She was active in Jewish communal and cultural life in the New York and New Jersey areas, achieving perhaps greatest public recognition as president of the Sholem Aleichem Women's Organization. She was also a member of the National Council of Jewish Women. In the 1920s and 1930s she served as Supervisor of Jewish Education of the Council's Farm and Rural Department, an organization that responded to the needs of Jews living in the rural areas of New York and New Jersey without a central Jewish community on which to rely. In her position as supervisor of Jewish education, Liebert developed and disseminated Jewish educational materials in rural areas, contacted and trained itinerant Jewish educational teachers, organized Jewish educational classes, and helped new immigrants adjust to their new environment. … Sarah Liebert died in New York in 1955.” (Jewish Women’s Archive) Subjects: Yiddish language - Readers.
