teach at the Temple Beth Am Day School in Miami. In 2018, we boarded an El Al Nefesh B’Nefesh Aliyah flight from JFK with 260 fellow Jews and became dual Israeli-American citizens. Over this time, we co-chaired Beth Sholom’s Israel Committee, and Karen became the President of Temple Beth Sholom. Now Karen is on the board of the Union of Reform Judaism and founding Chair of its national Israel Leadership Network. We dedicate a portion of our annual income to support Temple Beth Sholom and Israeli causes. Leaving a legacy gift to Beth Sholom feels like a natural thing for us to do, serving as a symbol of our great appreciation for what our Temple has done for our family. It honors our parents for their love and dedication to synagogue life. It strengthens Jewish identity and continuity for our daughters and, God-willing, their families. We hope that in 50 years’ time, our synagogue will be the center of an even more vibrant Jewish community, filled with ruach (spirit), personal and communal moments of joy and meaningful mitzvot that strengthen the Jewish people, Israel, America and world. You can wait your whole life to have the means to give. The reality is that everyone’s gift of time and money are equally important. Giving what you can right now and within your means is what truly matters. Am Yisrael Chai!!
