Schlomith Frieda Flaum (18 March 1893 – 2 January 1963), was a Lithuanian Zionist activist, who moved to Palestine in 1911. After spending two years at Shantiniketan, she returned to Jerusalem, where she established a kindergarten based on Rabindranath Tagore's ideas. There, she also published articles on Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi in the Jewish press. An account of her life is given in Shimon Lev's book titled From Lithuania to Santiniketan: Schlomith Flaum and Rabindranath Tagore (2018).[1][2][3]
