World's Oldest Jewish Woman Celebrates 112 Birthday

A Long Beach, NY, nursing home resident believed to be the oldest living Jewish person in the world was the guest of honor yesterday at a gala celebration commemorating her 112th birthday KA"H. For Goldie Steinberg, a resident of Grandell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, yesterday’s event was a belated birthday party. Mrs. Steinberg’s actual birthday was on October 30th, the day after Hurricane Sandy decimated Long Beach, forcing the evacuation of all of the kosher nursing home’s residents for almost four weeks.
