Why We March Again and Again

By Erin Rosen

F

ourteen days, three red pairs of eyes, seven hotels, four concentration camps, Masada, 15,000 teens, and two survivors. That’s the March of the Living 2015.

Keith went on the March of the Living (MOTL) in 2010 with our son Andy, I went with Hannah in 2013, and we decided we both wanted to be with Zoe this past spring. One might ask why anyone would want to experience this exhausting, emotional trip twice. Going the second time solidified the powerful impact of this incredible trip. The MOTL is about bridging the gap from Poland our past and our darkest days, to Israel - our future and hope, from teens to survivors, from high school to college, from experiencing to advocating.

The timing of the trip is brilliant, as the participants are high school juniors and seniors. This is a vulnerable time for many young Jews who struggle to keep their Jewish faith and spiritual identity on campus. The trip is led by Rabbi Guttman and Rabbi Havivi. The two Rabbis work tirelessly to educate our teens, to give them spiritual hope, a love of Israel and the ability to advocate as they head off to college.

A month after we returned from

BBYO programs and of course the MOTL. The fact that our high school seniors stand on the bima and discuss how these Israel Experiences have shaped them as Jews is incredible. Our family has been impacted by this life altering trip, the opportunity to march in the steps of our ancestors, to travel with survivors from our community and to experience the hope and future in Israel.

the MOTL, Zoe had her confirmation at Temple Emanuel. This year’s confirmation class had 16 members nine of whom had been on this year’s MOTL. The Temple students are asked to prepare a speech discussing what being Jewish means to them. All nine MOTL participants mentioned the impact the March had on shaping their Jewish identity. This was no surprise to Keith and I and we recalled the same with the Temple Confirmation class of 2010 and 2013. The Rabbis are diligent in recruiting for the MOTL, fundraising and seeking

private donations to make this trip affordable. Additionally we are proud of the fact that the Greensboro Jewish Federation offers $1,600 subsidies to our Greensboro Marchers.

It is extraordinary how our community and Rabbis make it a priority to send our teens to Israel. Listening to the speeches at Confirmation the vast majority of our confirmands have had an Israel experience, many as Eighth graders at B’nai Shalom, some at the Alexander Muss High School as juniors at the American Hebrew Academy, others with

hank you to our donors, our volunteers and my colleagues for the past year’s stellar efforts. Almost $5.2 million dollars passed through our doors for endowments, donor Marilyn Forman advised funds, the Chandler annual campaign, emergency campaigns and other designated funds. We engaged hundreds of volunteers, served hundreds of individuals in need locally and thousands overseas, we attracted thousands to our website, and updated thousands via e-newsletter and newspaper. Here’s a glimpse from our Annual Membership Meeting held on June 9, 2015.

Mimi Levin with Susan Robinson.

Former Federation President, Susan Robinson, honored Mimi Levin with the Marilyn Forman Chandler Woman of Valor Award. Mimi was thanked for all she has done to build a Jewish foundation for our youth and for perpetuating our Jewish community for the future!

I am forever grateful to our hardworking and devoted staff. During the Torah portion Shelach, which was read recently in synagogue, the Land of Israel is referred to for the first time as a land of “Milk and Honey”. Each staff member was presented with specially flavored honey, in appreciation for their unique gifts, devotion and hard work on behalf of the Jewish community!

We honored Deborah Kintzing, Support our advertisers and let them know that you saw their ad in Shalom Greensboro.

American Associates of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev American Hebrew Academy Andrew Bowen Photography Carolina Center for Jewish Studies-UNC Center for Visual Artists Chabad Lubavitch of Greensboro Chakras Spa ComForcare Home Care Community Theatre of Greensboro Golden Touch Car Wash Greensboro Body Company

for her creative powers that she used in her position as Director of Campaign, Community Relations and Communications, to showcase the talents of our volunteers – at so many incredible events. Deborah created so many wonderful accomplishments. Several campaign chairs from out-of-town wrote remarks to honor Deborah (below are excerpts): “Deborah always did it, whatever it was! We love and miss her and all of you.”

Peggy Bernstein (Colorado) “Deborah brought dogged determination, an outstanding work ethic, a high degree of competence and abundant passion to her work at Federation. As someone who has worked with her over many years, I am grateful for substantial contributions she made to the Greensboro Jewish community. Yishar Koach, Deborah.”

David Altman (Brussels) “In 2005 I was asked to take on the daunting task of Women's Campaign Chair for the Greensboro Jewish Federation. Deborah was there to support me, assist me and to laugh with me-Deborah was good at it all and will be sorely missed. My wish for you, Deborah, is that your future will be filled with projects that make you happy, fulfill your innate creativity and theatrical abilities, and, even more importantly, keep you laughing.”

Liz Winter Cohen (Florida) And finally, Nathalie Ross (Texas) sent a lovely photo of Federation members with Deborah at the Darfur March on DC. Dr. Steve Kutner, of Atlanta, the Founding Medical Director of Jewish Healthcare International, wrote about Deborah’s role in working with JHI, the Jewish Agency for Israel and Sheba Hospital to save the life of the young girl who affectionately became known throughout the Jewish world as the “Beltsy” Baby.

I thank Deborah for her many years of service to the Jewish community and to the Greensboro Jewish Federation. I will miss her tremendously and wish her well in the next chapter of her life’s journey.

This summer, we are looking to fill several vacant positions, work on re-vamping our Women’s Philanthropy Cabinet, start planning campaign events

In addition, Dr. Steve Mackler invited two special guests to join us and honor Deborah. Chief Deputy Secretary of State, Rodney Maddox and Lt. Col. Robert Carver of the NC National Guard presented Deborah with a Capital Citation Award for her work with the Moldovan Jewish community signed by Secretary of State Elaine Marshall.

Excerpts from Former Federation President Susan Robinson's presentation of the Marilyn Forman Chandler Woman of Valor Award to Mimi Levin Mimi Levin has been a leader and donor to almost every Jewish organization in Greensboro.... She was a Vice President of Hadassah and is a Founding donor for Hadassah. She is a life member of Hadassah and National Council of Jewish Women.

Mimi was one of the organizers of B’nai Shalom Day School and continues to be on the Board of Governors of B’nai Shalom.

Mimi was LOJE chair for the Jewish Foundation of Greensboro and served on the Foundation Board.

Since 2011, Mimi has funded the PJ library project, a joint project between the Greensboro Jewish Federation and B’nai Shalom Day School.

Mimi feels that it is important to provide for the future. She says “We need to remember that only Jews will take care of Jews and we owe it to our history to continue to do so. It is like a huge chain and we do not want to break any links.”

Remembering Leonard Kaplan, z”l

By Susan Gutterman,

Endowment Director Jewish Foundation of Greensboro

I

am saddened yet honored to publicly express my gratitude and admiration for Leonard’s leadership of the Jewish Foundation of Greensboro, his generosity to our community, and our long friendship.

As our Founding Chair, Leonard’s vision and leadership created our Jewish Foundation to ensure the future of our Jewish community. What foresight!

He planted a seed and nourished its growth. The roots are now deep and strong, and we all benefit from the fruit.

I am especially indebted to Leonard for the trust and opportunity he gave me as the first Endowment Director of the Foundation over 18 years ago.

Leonard initiated and enhanced programs and institutions and created endowments to sustain them. His leadership, vision, and personal commitment to the present and future of the Jewish community have inspired many others as well. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to collaborate with him to build the Foundation and secure the future of our community.

Tobee and Leonard together established the first Family Philanthropic Fund and took the lead by endowing many institutions that

placed their funds with the Foundation, serving as role models who encouraged and challenged additional donors to establish and contribute to endowments.

Their commitment and affection for each of these institutions have been inspiring and infectious for many in our community and beyond. I am also thankful for their generosity in renovating the second floor of the Federation building to house the

Foundation. Our beautiful offices can now accommodate our continued growth, as the tree and the fruit continue to thrive.

Leonard Kaplan was honored as the Founding Chair of the Foundation and a leader in our community with our Legacy Leadership Award, presented at the Jewish Foundation “Celebrate Our Legacy” event in 2004. He was honored again at the 18th Anniversary Foundation Chai Event in 2014, celebrating his vision and leadership.

The Jewish Foundation of Greensboro has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most successful Jewish foundations in North America, in large part due to Leonard’s vision and ongoing leadership.

Beyond the extraordinary legacy Leonard provided for the Foundation, our community, and countless other charitable organizations to make the world a better place, I am most grateful for the personal inspiration and friendship that Leonard has given me. I will continue to be guided and inspired by his efforts to strengthen our community for future generations as I nurture and grow the Foundation.

Leonard has been my philanthropic hero. I will miss his insightful guidance, friendship, humor, and smile.

By Cathy Levinson, Chair of the Board

of the Jewish Foundation of Greensboro

I

take personal privilege in writing this Newsletter entry. It is with sadness and honor that I remember my boss [although he never liked it when I referred to him as such], my mentor, my friend, the person who involved me in the Jewish Foundation of Greensboro, in fact, the Founder of our thriving Foundation: Leonard Kaplan z”l.

Many facts have been related and shared over the course of these weeks since his passing, of Leonard’s exceptional life achieving business success, philanthropic generosity, and memorable personal relationships. I won’t even try to summarize. I simply want to create a word-picture of the man with whom I worked closely when I had the privilege of being part of Toleo Foundation.

Leonard was a man with expansive and laser-focused vision. If we could have looked inside his brain it would have been shooting synapses, making connections, creating ideas twenty-six hours a day. Leonard had a penchant for numbers and could not only remember columns of figures (especially dollar amounts), but he could easily digest balance sheets and financial statements. As has been noted, he had a joke for every occasion and he could talk his way into any office, through any “gate keeper” - and usually get what he wanted, not with aggression, but with kindness. Leonard’s laser-focus and sense of what he wanted made it tough to argue with him. But often after thinking for a couple of days on a matter of difference, he was able to re-think a

Leonard Kaplan

position. Always with a twinkle in his eye and a respect of every human being, no matter a receptionist, a cleaning person, a professional, or a CEO. Leonard was only interested in making the world a better place. He didn’t want to do it one step at a time - but in leaps and bounds.

With this Newsletter come our condolences to Tobee, Randall Kaplan and Kathy Manning, Scott and Maeve Kaplan and Barry and Lynn Chasen--and their families. Leonard Kaplan’s name is, and will be a blessing.

BJH Grants Provide Essential Support for Older Jewish Adults in the Carolinas Annual Grants Awarded throughout North and South Carolina

E

ach year, grants from BJH Foundation, based in Greensboro, N.C. make vital differences in the lives of many older Jewish adults throughout North and South Carolina. Funding assists non-profits that provide critical services to older adults in areas such as case management, meal and fellowship programs, health screenings and home visits.

This year, BJH Foundation has awarded 23 grants totaling more than $220,000 to help fund programs such as elder daycare, congregational nursing and social worker programs, home and community services, as well as guardianship and care management for older Jewish adults throughout North and South Carolina.

“Support from BJH Foundation can make a huge impact in the lives of these older Jewish adults,” says Andrew Aronson, president of the BJH Foundation for Senior Services. "As the older Jewish adult population moves through its senior years, healthcare and other resources needed for their support will be stretched to capacity. The grants

from BJH Foundation play a crucial role in helping fill some of these needs in the lives of this population."

BJH Foundation improves the lives of many older Jewish adults through its funding. Over the past ten years, BJH Foundation has awarded more than $1.8 million to qualifying nonprofit organizations that support older Jewish adults.
