Like most readers of The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, we lead busy lives. We are a professor of law and a pediatrician, mothers and wives, children of aging parents, and women who care about the Jewish people.
We want excellence in our children’s education at synagogue schools and Jewish day schools. We are concerned for our parents who may someday need the services of the Jewish Home and Care Center and Jewish Family Services.
We know there are many in our community who need counseling services or extra help from the food pantry during rough times. We want to advocate for the Jewish people and be collective good citizens in the greater community.
We care about Israel and about helping Jews in need around the world. In other words, we care passionately about securing a strong Jewish community now and into the future.
That’s why we are volunteering as chairs of the 2014 Annual Campaign. We know that a gift to the Milwaukee Jewish Federation can do all of these things and more and that no gift touches more lives.
Andrea Schneider is annual campaign chair, Sharyl Paley is annual campaign chair of Women’s Philanthropy for the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
