We are from New York and raised our family in Phoenix, where we have been very involved in the Jewish community for many years. About eight years ago, we started to spend part of each year in San Diego, where we discovered Congregation Adat Yeshurun. Adat quickly became another home for us, with a wise rabbi and wonderful people. The shul has been very good to us. For example, when Irwin was sick, Rabbi Jeff and members of Adat went out of their way to assist us. For these reasons, it is our pleasure to be able to leave a legacy gift to Congregation Adat Yeshurun.

Our dream for the Jewish community is that it becomes more Jewish! We have three children, 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren – and we are proud that they are carrying on our Jewish heritage, each in his or her own way.
