As a young child, I was inspired by my father, Isadore Phillip Arnold, a working man, who through his examples of kindness and caring, always took care of everyone.  Although we had very little, he invited people who were evicted from their homes to stay with us.  He was a wonderful example to me.

I hope that the legacy I leave will enable the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland to continue to provide help and create programs for those who are less fortunate and who need assistance through trying times.

I feel it is the obligation of those of us who can help, to do just that.
