Marcia jumped in with both feet, joining Sisterhood, serving on the Temple Board of Directors and as a Vice President, establishing a relevant Adult Education Program, leading the Havurah movement at Beth Am, teaching in the Day School and a unique and very popular class in Monday Night School, “You Can Change the World.” She helped to organize PATIO and created the Shabbat Challah Program , as well as served on the Day School Board. Our Havurah women became part of Lenore Kipper’s first Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class. Marcia was a National UAHC Board Facilitator, and President of the Alpert JCC immediately after Hurricane Andrew, helping to spread Tikkun Olam throughout our destitute community. Beth Am’s Tikkun Olam program has reached out to Casa Valentina, an organization Marcia and Susan Lampen helped to found in 2004. Terry was a Brotherhood member, a Camp Coleman Committee member for sixteen years and Camp Chairman for four years, a Melton Graduate, and attended all the children’s Beth Am basketball games. We have continued to support the Temple as members of the Committee of One Hundred. Proudly, we have nurtured our eight grandchildren by sending Jared, Robert, Micah and Charlie to Camp Coleman, “ kvelling ” at Jared Reisman’s Bar Mitzvah and sister Eliana who is learning the Aleph Bet in Atlanta. We sang “the bread song” at Shabbat with four-year-old Julia Bea and one-year-old Matthew MacGregor in Houston. Our Gainesville, Georgia Reismans, Robert, Charlie and Caroline have a challenge in a small non- Jewish community but are learning Hebrew via Skype with a teacher in Israel, thanks to Andrew’s dedication to Judaism.
