Giving to the Jewish Federation is a long family tradition in both the Eisenberg and Cohen families.
When my husband Ted’s z’l father passed away, Ted added the amount of his gift to his own without hesitation. I am sure he would be very proud of me today for establishing this endowment.
I do not remember exactly when I started giving because it feels like something that I have been doing most of my life. As an individual with my own voice, I proudly gave my own gift to the Women’s Division even after I was married. I became a Lion of Judah as soon as I could.
I decided to endow my Ruby Lion gift to The Jewish Federation of Cleveland because it is the one organization that supports the entire Jewish community in Cleveland, Israel and around the world. My Ruby Lion gift will provide annually for the Campaign for Jewish Needs, enabling me to continue supporting our Jewish community forever.
