As part of a domino effect, Lyndhurst resident Stuart Pearl began volunteering after his wife, Jeanne, started volunteering due to interest from their daughter, Jennifer. Once Jeanne got involved in volunteering, she suggested he get involved, Pearl told the Cleveland Jewish News. “It looked really interesting,” Pearl said. “We like to do things together and we’re very supportive of our kids.”

Unbeknown to one another as children or even as teenagers, Tracy Zwick Hammer and Sue Bell teased and styled the hair of Barbie dolls. Half-a-century later, the women are owners of Studio MZ Salon and Spa in Woodmere, which opened three decades ago.

Sam Bernzweig, a 17-year-old Eastmoor resident and rising senior at Columbus Torah Academy, had plenty of time and nothing to do last summer. So, to fill that time he started making bagels after stumbling upon a how-to bagel-making video. According to Sam, that casual social media surf has blossomed into a business for the new entrepreneur. “Typically when people ask me how I started, I tell them that because I’m Jewish it’s in my DNA, but really I was just bored, so I decided to try bagel-making out,” he told the Columbus Jewish News. “I tried the recipe and was amazed at my success. After that, I began to make bagels every Sunday until it became a tradition. Every week, I would make about two dozen bagels and give them out to friends in the community.”
