On Wednesdy, July 19, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., Jewish Business Leader Bagels & Breakfast will return for its second event of 2023. You are invited to join us in the Shirley and Leonard Goldstein Community Engagement Venue at the Staenberg Omaha JCC. This meeting has been three years in the making. The Brandeis story, which will feature speakers Steve Seline and Ted & Kathy Baer, was rescheduled due to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are so glad to finally bring this wonderful story to our audience.
We will welcome Steve of Walnut Private Equity Partners and Ted and Kathy Baer of the Baer Foundation, who will join us to talk about this wonderful company.
“We are excited to honor the Baer legacy and recognize the magnitude of influence the Brandeis stores and the Baer fam- ily had on the Omaha community,” JBL Founder and EVP at OMNE Partners Alex Epstein said. “The store’s success and family legacy is rich with history and it is a must-attend for community members. Brandeis and their expansion and other ventures carried so much weight into how Omaha is shaped today.”
There will also be a short video presentation where we will learn things about the Brandeis story we never knew. Remember to grab breakfast, provided by Star Catering and of course we will have coffee from Stories.
As always, we would like to thank our Platinum Sponsors: Bridges Trust, OMNE Partners, and Valmont. We would also like to thank our Event Sponsors: Alex Epstein, The Baer Foundation, and McGill, Gotsdiner, Workman, and Lepp. If you have any questions, please contact Jay Katelman at jkatelman@jewishomaha.org, or call 402.334.6461.
