Following in the steps of my great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents, I have had the honor and privilege of working in many of our great Jewish institutions. Though each organization takes on the honorable task of fulfilling Tikun Olam and/or Derek Eretz in its own special way, there are two inescapable facts that have always been an issue for any organization I have been involved with — First, there is never enough money to accomplish all that needs to be done, and second, The Jewish Community Foundation has always been present and ready to help organizations accomplish more than they would have been able to do alone.

Out of respect to so many worthy Jewish organizations and cognizant of the efficiency and diligence of the JCF, it is my honor and privilege to join the Book of Life.

With love for our Tradition and respect for our community, I hope that one day all our worthy organizations will have the means to effectuate as much progress, assistance, programming and deliverables, in order to maximize their and our potential in repairing our world.
