Edith Marofsky marked her 95th birthday by upgrading her general membership to life membership. “Edith believes strongly that our Jewish history must be saved, and she thinks the Society is a wonderful organization,” said longtime Society member Bernice Cowl Gordon. “At 95, Edith is setting a great example for other people.”
Edith’s commitment to the Society comes as no surprise to her niece Artice Silverman. “She has always been our family historian,” said Silverman, who recalls fondly her Aunt Edith’s stories about graduating from the Mechanical Arts High School and marching in a St. Paul Winter Carnival band. Edith has contributed personal papers and artifacts to the Society over the years.
The Society is pleased to welcome Edith as a life member and wishes her many more happy birthdays…ad meah v’esrim…to 120!
If you want to follow Edith’s example and upgrade to a Life Membership, we’ll make it easy for you! Contact JSHUM at (952) 381-3360 or e-mail history@jhsum.org for more information. Click here to find out more on our web pages about Life membership.
L’DOR VA’DOR: Recalling our Ancestors— Remembering our Lives Endowment Fund
Hisstory. Herstory. Ourstory. Yourstory. JHSUM collects stories that comprise the community's cultural memory. You and your ancestors are an important part of the story.
Introducing the L’DOR VA’DOR Endowment Fund. A tax-deductible gift held in perpetuity allows you to permanently honor or memorialize individuals or families linking the generations together. A portion of the annual interest earnings is used to provide a steady source of income for JHSUM’s programs and operating budget.
Your minimum gift of $1,000 will create a legacy to ensure your name—and the names of your family members—will be a light for the future generations.
L’DOR VA’DOR Endowment Fund was inspired by Daniel Heilicher whose bequest was the first contribution to the fund. May his memory be for blessing.
