When I first began working at a Jewish social service agency in 1987, I did not know how profoundly my life would be impacted. I was immediately embraced by the community and values of respect, tzedakah, service and caring became cornerstone to my life, making my work more meaningful. Now, at Beth Israel, I once again have the privilege to work with the Jewish community. I have chosen to support the Beth Israel with my own legacy gift because I want to see the continuation of what has been so richly given to me.
