My daughter came home one day and told us that she wanted to go to a Jewish day school. This was in the 9th grade. And we said OK and we sent her. And the experience for her has been life-changing. She has embraced Jewish values, she has become more knowledgeable about the world, and for all the incredible growth and development she has experienced, the impact on our family has been immeasurable. We’ve all become more knowledgeable and my wife and I decided to make a trip to Israel as a result of my daughter getting excited for her own Federation’scampaign. annual trip there. myAnd responsibility I realizedand that forto I wantothersmake thesetothem as make well happenthings andan impact that’sto for happen both bywhy supportingmy andI choose family it’s 5 To secure our Jewish future, we instilled Jewish values.

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela – where life for Jews has not always been easy – but I grew up surrounded by a very strong Jewish community and very strong Jewish values. What inspires me is that I saw what my family and all the people around me did for a community and that’s why do what I do in this community. I think it’s very important to give back, I think it’s very important to be involved, especially at this time where things are notSo Iexactly think that’s very prettymy mainthat around inspiration I got the from world. –home. my community, my family, my strong values

27 PATTY’S STORY

When Patty’s mother was diagnosed with Altzheimer’s in 1995, she turned to Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley for caregiver support. “It was the first time I had close contact with JFS and it was the best thing I could have done,” she says.

Now, Patty wants to make sure that support will continue for her own children and for anyone who needs it.

That’s why Patty plans to support JFS and Con- gregation Keneseth Isra- el – where her children are fourth genera- tion members – through the LIFE & LEGACY program. It’s her way of assuring Jewish tomorrows. 28 LEHIGH VALLEY JEWISH FOUNDATION
