The 2009 Board of Directors: The Member Bedrock Leader Award
Similar to many individuals and organizations after the 2008 recession, JFREJ hit a financial crisis in 2009 that almost resulted in closing our doors. Instead, we were anchored and lifted up by a steadfast crew of dedicated members, led by the Board of Directors. Without their persistence, commitment, and collaboration, we would not be here today. We honor and thank Rabbi Guy Austrian, Ilana Berger, John Berman, Adrienne Cooper z”l, Stosh Cotler, Shira Eve Epstein, Katie Goldstein, Alison Hirsch, Rosza Daniel Lang/Levitsky, Ilanit Gerblich Kalir, Jeyn Levison, Lorne Lieb, Sam J. Miller, Jon Moscow, Lucas Shapiro, Rabbi Alex Weissman, Elizabeth Wilson, Quito Ziegler, and Interim Executive Director Dana J. Schneider.
Support the Board of Directors in their quest to raise $18,000.
After you submit the form, we ask that you make your contribution by clicking on one of the two links below, to donate to JFREJ or to The Jewish Vote. We encourage all donors to give to The Mazals via the Jewish Vote, as these contributions will be used to fund both organizations activities, but are NOT tax-deductible for income tax purposes. Gifts to the Awards via JFREJ cannot be used for partisan political activity but ARE tax-deductible over $25.
