A Letter from Our Campaign Chair

As my teenage sons get older, one of my biggest priorities is figuring out how and where we can enjoy time together, and how Judaism can remain relevant in our lives. Why can’t we have a place of Jewish identity where everyone in my family will want to spend time?

The answer is, we can.

That will be the role of The Center for Jewish Life, for my family and for yours. The Center will be a place where people of all ages and backgrounds will want to celebrate life’s milestones, meet up with friends for a pickup basketball game, take a cooking class, shop at a weekly farmers’ market, squeeze in morning prayer to start the day, send their kids to school, or just grab a cup of coffee.

I have been a proud and active member of Beth David and the Gordon School family for more than 15 years. This transformation of the campus and all that it will offer, cannot happen soon enough. That’s why my husband and I have pledged our money, time, and expertise to make this dream become a reality.

I hope that you will join us in this enterprise. I want The Center for Jewish Life not just for my family, but for every person who would enjoy and flourish at a campus with so much to offer spiritually, recreationally, and educationally.

Working as one, we can make it come true.

Let’s Build It Together!
