Kehila of Giving:
Investing in the next generation instills a sense of responsibility and commitment.
The seeds we plant today will blossom into the thriving Jewish community of tomorrow.
“Mort & I decided to make a multi-year commitment to the East Bay ECE Initiative because we believe strongly in the power of good-quality preschool in a Jewish setting to be a gateway for stronger Jewish engagement…in creating Jewish friendships, Jewish home rituals, and Jewish community involvement. We also appreciate the multi-pronged approach of this initiative. It’s an investment we are happy to be a part of.”
