I am fortunate to have grown up in a home where Jewish values and traditions were our way of life.

With the foresight of my grandfather, Jacob Sapirstein, my parents, Beatrice and Irving Stone, and others in previous generations, our community was well established.  We have grown stronger in both commitment and in the number of organizations engaged in the betterment of our community.  

I am proud to be able to partake in the present and future of a community which has served its members well and has a wonderful reputation that is emulated around the world.
