Some of Laura’s most formative experiences came from her summers at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. She reflects fondly on how meaningful it was to be in an environment where Jewish identity was celebrated: “Jewish sleepaway camp—and being in that environment where kids love being Jewish—is a really important thing.” A Commitment to Community When Laura moved to Florida in 2009, she found a natural home at the Greater Miami Jewish Federation . Over the years, she has served on several committees and was an active member of the Young Leadership Division , building connections and contributing to the strength of the community. Her professional life has also shaped her path as a philanthropist. During her career as an estate-planning attorney, Laura had the opportunity to run a private family foundation. “I saw how important charitable giving was, and it really influenced me,” she explained. “Working there gave me an understanding of the unique value of giving back.” Now, in her private practice, she helps individuals and families navigate sensitive end-of-life decisions. Through this work, she has gained a deeper appreciation for the meaning of legacy. “When you reach a certain age, you need to be authentic and really think about what you want your legacy to be. And I want to lead by example.”
