DONORS
WHO GIVE: DR. LARRY AND REBECCA NEWMAN
We were fortunate to come from families with a strong sense of Jewish values,
traditions and communal history. Arriving in San Diego in 1974 with our two young
daughters, Karin and Dana, we knew that it was time for us to establish our own
Jewish connection. We found a community that was welcoming and encouraging with
leadership, institutions and organizations in place that enabled our family to
enjoy the richest of Jewish lives.
We joined Congregation Beth Israel and educated
our children in its religious school. We participated in the programs of the
United Jewish Federation and it became our window to the Jewish world beyond
San Diego and the avenue to our ongoing love affair with the State of Israel.
Over the years we were mentored by wonderful leadership who enabled us to serve
the organizations we loved: the Federation, Congregation Beth Israel, Seacrest
Village, the United Jewish Appeal and the American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee. When it was time to think about the legacy we wanted to leave our
children it was important to us that through our endowments they would appreciate
how greatly our involvement with our community had added richness and texture
to our lives.
We also wanted to insure that succeeding generations of young Jewish
families would find a strong and vibrant community awaiting their participation
-- a community dedicated to the dignity and quality of Jewish life, sustained
by Torah, Chesed and the free and democratic State of Israel. It is with joy
and great hope for the future that we sign our San Diego Jewish community's Book
of Life.
