Sam Baumal
Hebrew teacher

Eighteen-year-old Sam Baumal works as a teaching assistant every Sunday at Edgware and District Reform Synagogue's Hebrew school where, friends say, his kindness and patience endears him to his students and other staff members. He also gives up a considerable amount of his free time during the year to train to look after a severely disabled young adult.

Mr Baumal says he is motivated "by the desire to help young people to progress and grow in terms of their Jewish studies and Hebrew reading".

Last summer the Merchant Taylors' pupil became a supporter of the school's Phab Week - where sixth formers run a holiday camp at the school for 20 disabled teenagers.
