We love being Jewish and have such warm feelings for the Jewish people.  Every one of us should work to perpetuate the Jewish community, and we do what we do because it makes us feel great.

Israel is the best insurance policy in the world for the Jews.  We are so proud to have played a role in the strengthening of the State of Israel over the years, and feel so fortunate to have been able to visit there many times.  Bob’s bar mitzvah at the Western Wall in 1999 was a beautiful, spiritual time for us, which we will remember and cherish always.  To the extent that we can help others have experiences that create Jewish memories like that, we want to do it.

We are continuing our own Jewish learning and explorations as adults and find our tradition to be so rich in great ideas and important values.  We are very pleased to be able to play a role in perpetuating that tradition.
