Miriam Lieber Tzedakah was a constant in my childhood — something my parents taught not just through words, but by example. They believed in helping those who could not avoid poverty, and they instilled in me the responsibility to act with compassion and dignity toward others. My legacy gift honors their memory and the values they lived by. It reflects my commitment to carry forward their belief that giving is not charity, but justice. Supporting the Jewish community through philanthropy ensures that the values, traditions, and resilience that define us continue for future generations. I believe in a vibrant, inclusive Jewish future where no one is left behind, and where our tradition continues to inspire meaningful action. Through this gift, I hope to strengthen the fabric of Jewish life and help build a community rooted in empathy, learning, and care. This is how I live my Jewish values—and how I will continue to live them for generations to come.
