The question of what is Jewish Community is a question that has haunted us for many years. We have a 4000-year-old tradition of taking care of each other and the communities within which we reside. To us the answer to this question involves the obligation to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves; the obligation to leave this world a better place than when we entered it; the obligation to create institutions that will be there and be meaningful to our children and grandchildren in perpetuity; the concept that the greatest good is enabling a Jew to help a second Jew help a third Jew. For these concepts and for teaching these concepts we are endowing our gift in the book of life.
