When Paul and Terri Bachow got married and moved to Miami fifteen years ago, they wanted to be part of a community. They found that community by becoming involved in the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. It began with a trip to Israel; Terri and Paul participated in the Federation’s first Mega Mission in 2013 along with
a pre-mission to Poland. This life- changing experience inspired Terri to become a Lion of Judah and Paul to create a documentary “A Journey into the Holocaust” using footage Paul captured from eye witnesses to the horrors of the Holocaust. The documentary is now used as a teaching tool for Holocaust education in 48 States. When they came back to Miami, Terri’s involvement deepened. Terri joined the Women’s Amutot Committee and later was invited to join the Federation Board of Directors, two experiences she has found to be incredibly fulfilling. Paul and Terri Bachow
Terri and Paul then saw a whole other side of the Federation, when they needed help in finding the right continuum of care facility for Paul’s mother. “It was the most unbelievable thing”, Terri recounts. “It was the first time I needed help and luckily I had people at the Federation I could turn to.” Last year, Terri participated in the International Lion of Judah Conference where she learned about the Lion of Judah Endowment program and became interested in taking that next step in her philanthropic journey. She had just started the process of updating her will and planned to include the Federation as a beneficiary. In May, that process was completed. “The pandemic was a reminder to me that the critical work of the Federation never stops. It motivated me to formalize my legacy commitment.” Terri added, “the Federation made Miami feel like a home for us. Thankfully, I’m in a position to help and I feel strongly that it is my responsibility as a Jew to be there for my community both now, as a Lion of Judah, and when I’m no longer here as a Forever Lion .”
