AMESSAGEFROMOURCEO FarewelltoJewishLongBeach
DeborahK.Goldfarb|JewishLongBeach
After having worked in the Jewish Communal Service world for over thirty years it is now time for me to bid Jewish Long Beach “farewell” as I move onto the next phase of my retirement at the end of May. After having served Jewish Federations and JCCs in El Paso, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; and Columbus, Ohio, I first arrived in Long Beach in 2005, just
Center and Jewish Long Beach
This journey has been fulfilling and interesting, as I have been privileged to help shape the future of these various communities throughout a time of change in the Jewish World. Having had the opportunity to work with many communities directly in Israel, and to develop programs in the United States
I believe I have given myself unabashedly to this cause of passing on the work I have believed in, and I cannot thank all of those who have given so freely of themselves over these many years to work in partnership alongside me to preserve and further Jewish heritage, values, and commitment to community One of the richest parts of
PirkeAvot(WisdomofOurFathers)
twenty years ago and served as the Executive Director and then CEO of the Jewish Federation and Jewish Community Foundation through 2019, after which I became a consultant to the newly formed Jewish Long Beach
Subsequently I was honored to be asked to serve as the Interim Executive Director of the Alpert Jewish Community Center for 2 years, and then to serve as the Interim CEO of the newly integrated Alpert Jewish Community

to address changing Jewish environments has been immensely fulfilling to me. I chose this line of work because I believe that the world would suffer a tremendous loss without the influence of the Jewish Community and because the Jewish Community deserves to be respected for the ethical values we have modeled throughout history.
As Pirke Avot (Ethics of Our Fathers) tells us: “The work is not yours to finish, but neither are you free to take no part in it.”
my life has been the deep relationships I have built with presidents, board members, staff, donors and community members. Thank you to each and every one of you. May we all continue to live our Jewish values in a way that furthers our community and the Jewish People, along with our relationships with the broader community.
Let ours not be only farewell, but L’hitraot we will meet again in love, friendship and community solidarity.


Watching the children in our community grow has been a highlight of my career with Jewish Long Beach
I’m proud to have worked with Israeli communities to support Long Beach’s connection to the Jewish homeland
Having worked with the dedicated staff across the Federation and Alpert JCC has created lasting relationships

The Inspiring Legacy of Don & Andrea Kaiser
Written by Lynne Kass
“If not me, who? If not now, when?” is a famous quote attributed to the Jewish sage, Hillel the Elder, and has been a driving force behind the philanthropic journey of longtime community members, Don and Andrea Kaiser
Native Angelenos, Don & Andrea met when Don was 17 and Andrea was 15. Don was the President of the Jewish Youth Council of Los Angeles and Andrea was the Secretary for the group They have been together ever since and will be celebrating their 61st wedding anniversary in June 2025
Don’s parents instilled in him the value of Jewish community involvement. Reflecting on his upbringing, Don remarked, “They taught me how important it was to be affiliated,” which led to his early involvement in a Jewish Youth Group in Montebello and has continued throughout his life While Andrea’s parents were not “joiners”, they were part of a Jewish Young Couples group in Monterey Park, and Andrea quickly found herself drawn to Jewish community involvement.
As teens, Andrea was a member of the Drum & Bugle Corps, as well as a Majorette for the Los Angeles Rams when they played at the Los Angeles Coliseum where Don was the head usher (when I asked Andrea if she could still twirl a baton, she answered yes with no hesitation, and so I am determined to visit the Kaisers again soon and ask Andrea to show me her baton skills!) The Kaiser’s adventurous spirit is evident in a variety of stories such as their post college graduation cross-country journey on a Greyhound bus, non-stop for three days and nights, so that Don could meet Andrea’s cousins in Brooklyn Upon their respective graduations, both Don and Andrea became teachers, with Don starting his career in 1964 and Andrea in 1965. Don was the first male kindergarten teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District and taught for 14 years, with stints as an elementary school teacher and a professor of English at

Inner City Housing Pro She returned to college adaptive PE teacher, which she was for 10 years, and then a Special Education teacher where she was Bi-Lingual in Spanish. Andrea also taught horseback riding (fun fact!) and remained a teacher until she retired in 1992

eived a Series 7 license for Security Dealers, allowing him to buy and sell stocks and mutual funds. In 1985, he also started an investment business, which has been extremely successful, and which he still runs today
For 12 summers, Don & Andrea tutored on a ranch in Arizona which serviced the upper one percent of the population from across the country. They taught Buddy Hackett’s children, as well as children of the Rockefeller family, Nixon family, and the Maxwell (coffee) family. In 1972, Don and Andrea decided to take a 1-year sabbatical and traveled around the world on $5 a day, inspired by Frommer's famous guide
Don & Andrea moved to Long Beach in 1979, knowing only one couple in the area (Barbara & Leon Shoag). They became active in the Young Couples Club at the Long Beach Jewish Community Center (the “old” building) where Joyce Greenspan staffed the group and they met Edie & Joel Brodsky and Marvin Zamost, among others
Don served as Vice President of Finance on the JCC Board and President-Elect of the Federation Board (a position he ultimately had to step away from due to a hearing impairment). Andrea served as Chair of Annual Giving and then President of Hadassah in Long Beach. Don is currently finishing a 10-year term as President of the Hebrew Academy Advisory Board and Andrea remains active with NCJW They are both steadfast supporters of Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS).
Don left teaching in 1978 and spent his next 8 years in sales for Fortune 500 companies. He sold raw plastics to manufacturers and eventually opened his
According to Psalm 90:10: “The span of our life is seventy, or, given the strength, eighty years.” A Bar Mitzvah is a coming-ofage ritual in Judaism, celebrated when a young man turns 13. Under the logic of the Psalm, which indicates a normal lifespan of 70 years, an 83-year-old may be considered 13 in a second lifetime. Don will turn 83years-old in May 2025, and will celebrate by having his second Bar Mitzvah at Shul by the Shore
While on a visit to Israel, Don & Andrea asked their guide, “What can American Jews do to help Israel?” His reply was, “Create an educated and strong American Jewish Community.” This is what Don & Andrea have spent their lives doing. Don is also a descendant of the Kohanim (direct male descendants of Aaron, the first high priest) As such, he and Andrea are guided by the dual principles of Hesed (generosity) and Tzedakah (charity).
Having done well financially, the Kaiser’s decided to speak with their sons, Curtis, who is also their Estate Planning Attorney, and Loren, as well as their Investment Advisor, regarding their legacy gift in their Trust and then thought, “Why wait until we die to put this money to use? The groups we are supporting need the money now, and we will be able to see how it is used.”

Our Missionis You
Thankyouforansweringourcall!
“We need each other, and not just now. Thank you for keeping at it for all of us.”
Not necessarily what you expect to hear when you call someone and ask them for money, which is what makes 36 Hours of Jewish Long Beach different. When we say that Our Mission is You, we mean it.
Our mission is for the Toddler who is going to school for the first time, giving their parents the peace of mind knowing they are in a safe, family-friendly environment, built with Jewish values that are lived day-to-day in the classroom. Our mission is for the adult whose wellness journey isn’t always a straight line and prefers to work out with their community, because wellness is meant to be shared Our mission is for the senior, who can have their mind, body, and soul fed through luncheons, game days, education, and fitness tailored to them Our mission is for the young adults on college campuses, whose Jewish identity is uncompromisable, and who need the resources to continue their Jewish journey
Our mission is for Jews locally and worldwide, from Long Beach to South America, to the Former Soviet Union, to Israel, and beyond, to meet their needs in partnership with the world’s leading humanitarian organizations. For over 77 years, Jewish Long Beach has had many names, but one mission: you.
Together, over 140 of you answered our call, responded to an email appeal, and returned envelopes, pledging over $150,000 in support for Jewish Long Beach’s Annual Campaign This fuels:

Their generosity is visible across several transformative projects:
Hebrew Academy Kaiser STEM Lab:Starting in 2026, their endowment will provide $5,000 annually for technology upgrades to the named classroom that they began funding seven years ago.
Beach Hillel Endowment:Starting in 2026, their endowment will provide $750 annually to support Hillel’s annual Passover Seder (they had previously been supporting the Seder for the past seven plus years at $500 annually), as well as provide a $1,000 scholarship for a Hillel graduate’s trip to Israel
Hebrew Academy Scholarship:They have also set up a grant to provide a scholarship to a Hebrew Academy senior graduate student to travel to Israel.
Jewish Long Beach Annual Campaign:Andrea’s Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) gift will ensure sustained support for the Jewish Long Beach annual campaign starting in 2026.
The Kaiser’s hope that their decision to see their money being used during their lifetime will inspire others in our Jewish community who have that capacity to do the same Andrea emphasizes the importance of personal connection in philanthropy: "Find a link that speaks to you and support it "
Through their generosity, leadership, and personal example, Don and Andrea Kaiser have not only strengthened Jewish life in Long Beach but have also laid a lasting foundation for future generations. Their philanthropic legacy is one to be applauded, and we are so fortunate that our Long Beach Jewish Community has been the beneficiary of their dedication and commitment!

For Paula Savage (Cohen), it been the first time she was invit future husband, Ronan, in the s built at his student house while UCSD
“He had such a strong sense o was,” she remembers. “He knew believed in, and he lived it. I wa seeing that in someone who wa years old.”
Paula later learned that Rona Hebrew Academy shaped that c and sense of purpose So when to raise their children, she and R to send them to the same schoo shaped him.
“All five of our children went says. “I’m proud of them not they’re doing, but for who they ve become Whether preparing for a medical career, raising a Jewish family, serving in the IDF, celebrating life in Israel, or advocating for the Jewish community, they each followed their path. But they all carry the same pride I saw in their father and the values Hebrew Academy helped shape. And I’m proud of where it all began.”

Rebecca Rabenn felt it in the weeks after COVID, when everything still felt uncertain As a nurse and single mother, she was looking for a school that could support her daughters, not just academically, but emotionally.
She found more than that.
For Paula and her family, Hebrew Academy didn’t just provide an education “It became the foundation of our family ”
Youcan’talwaysnamethemoment. Butyoucanfeelit.
Yoni Leitner remembers that feeling, too. Hebrew Academy was a place of joy and discovery for him
“School felt like camp,” he shares “There were plays, choir, skits we were constantly creating. Judaism wasn’t just something we learned it was something we experienced.”
That impact sparked something lasting. At Yeshiva University, Yoni went on to found the Arts Festival and the school’s film society Today, he’s a professional film producer and storyteller, recently creating a nationally aired segment on Dr. Phil honoring IDF soldiers.
“They’re thriving here,” Rebecca says. “They’re confident They feel safe They feel like they belong ”
While Rebecca didn’t grow up with a strong Jewish iden daughters embrac “They come home sharing what they Torah. And I’m lea them ”
