(All Israel is responsible for one another and makes it more meaningful.)” – Bob Kuchner “To ensure that the JCC is around and thriving for many years to come.” – Stacie Friedman “We’re grateful for the strong sense of Jewish identity and values the JCC instilled in our sons who are now themselves participating in Jewish philanthropy.” – Pam Brewster and Stu Rosenthal “My life has been enriched at every stage, and I’m grateful. It’s my way to say thank you.” – Mindy Goldberger “The JCC is a place where I feel extremely comfortable. It is a family of friends who perhaps I haven’t seen in a long time but it gives me the opportunity to catch up and reconnect.
