In the ever-expanding melting pot in which we live, we believe there is still much value in retaining ethnic identity as a way to preserve cultural diversity. Focusing on our family’s own rich heritage, we recognize the importance of supporting efforts that foster the continuity of a vibrant Jewish culture.

The Foundation provided a significant grant for the Activity Center at Cedar Village, the Center for Jewish Seniors, where a wide array of daily programs showcase the performing arts, special events, community programs and religious observances.

Operating
The Foundation enabled The Downtown Synagogue to keep the Eternal Light burning for many years. The Synagogue made it possible for many Jews who live or work near downtown to perform their daily prayers. A spiritual home for out-of-towners, the Synagogue also served as a place of solace for those chanting the Kaddish, a prayer of remembrance for recently departed loved ones. Ultimately, due to lack of support, the Synagogue closed its doors in 2003.
