Whether creating upscale layette sets in Peru, fundraising for an international nonprofit organization, or smoothing the process for kallos, Sury Lauber gives 100 percent
LIFE LESSONS “Being a kallah is so exciting but so stressful” Sury says. “We’re taught how to drive. We’re taught how to swim. We’re taught how to prepare our taxes. But few people are taught how to be a wife and mother”
A t first glance Sury Lauber looks like a Satmar version of the Girl Next Door with her brown stockings shoulder-length brown sheitel topped with a band and Yiddish at the ready. Her face wreathes quickly into smiles and she looks younger than her 30-odd years.

She doesn’t move; she bustles. She’s not tall but has a presence you feel the minute she walks into the room. Obstacles in her path seem to just melt away vaporized by the force of her belief in whatever cause she’s decided to throw herself into.
