My parents raised me to believe that the Jewish people should always take care of their own. I have been blessed to be fortunate enough to give to our community not only during my lifetime, but beyond. By creating a Lion of Judah Endowment at the Federation, my gift to the Campaign for Jewish Needs will endure long after I am gone.

We don’t know what the needs of our people and our community will be in the future, and it is my responsibility and my privilege to give a gift that will ensure that whatever is needed will be available. As my parents taught me, so do I hope that this gift will inspire my family to carry on the value of tzedakah and to take care of our Jewish community for future generations.

It warms my heart to be a part of something larger than myself and to provide help to those who need it most, both now and in generations to come.
