WOMEN’S PHILANTHROPY CONNECTIONS!

Women’s Philanthropy recently hosted two Connections programs. Women gathered at the beautiful home of Risa Herman to learn the history of mahjong and why Jewish women love to play from Marjie Rogozinski, as well as a short tutorial from Lynn Maiman. Just last month, thirty women met in St. Augustine for a Jewish historical tour. Rabbi Merrill Shapiro provided excellent content on some of the most visible locations in the historical areas, including the Hilton Garden Inn where there was a mass arrest of rabbis supporting the Civil Rights Movement. Connections is a fun and interactive program for women to connect with other women throughout Northeast Florida. For more information, contact Lauren Rickoff at laurenr@ jewishjacksonville.org. || 1.

Night Of Generosity

The next generation of Jewish philanthropists gathered at the beautiful home of Haley and Jason Trager for Young Professionals & Families’ Annual Night of Generosity event. It was a fun evening with mentalist David Jaison. His show was outstanding, surprising the group with each “trick” he presented. The event co-chairs, Samantha Holtzman and Erin Weintraub, were thrilled with the success of the evening.
