Michelle Hirsch

Giving back to the Jewish community is part of who I am, who my parents raised me to be.  It is my responsibility to recognize my Jewish values, to celebrate my heritage, and to be inclusive of every Jew in need.

Endowing my gift allows Jews throughout the world to not simply survive, but to thrive and to live life with joy.  

I endow my gift with pride – not only because I know my gift will create Jewish experiences throughout the world for children just like my own, fulfilling my family’s motto of loyalty and “dance with the person that took you to the dance”. I endow my gift with purpose because I have the ability to give human beings that need it most the opportunity to dance period.
