JFCS is thrilled to invite you to the event, whose proceeds go toward critically needed services that assist more than 17,000 people each year. The Benefit will feature entertainment from rising-star comedian MODI and Taras Umrysh, a talented multi-genre violinist. Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by “The Hollywood Reporter” and “BackStage,” MODI is among the comedy circuit’s hottest young comedians. He has been featured in “The New York Times,” “Time Out New York,” “New York Post,” “Lifestyles Magazine” and has appeared on “CSI: NY,” “The Sopranos,” and Call for tickets ← “Last Comic Standing.” He is a regular at the New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs and headlines around the country and internationally. MODI is not your average comedian. The Israeli-born, New York resident has a background in finance and is a working cantor in addition to a stand-up comic. He used to work as an international investment banker, which he said indirectly led to a career in comedy. Talking to people around the world, he had a knack for imitating accents for his co-workers. One day his friend convinced him to participate in an amateur night at a comedy club, and “within six months I was in all the clubs in New York,” MODI said. As a kid, he liked to frequent the Museum of Television & Radio, where he would watch clips of his favorite comedians. “I watched Bill Cosby and all 952-542-4878 s rgood.com/jfc www.biddingfo ← browse & bid ← READ BENEFIT DETAILS ON PAGES 4 AND 5! the comedians that were around back in the day,” said MODI, who describes his style as Continued on page 2 INSIDE THIS ISSUE 4 8 12 10 4 Annual Benefit See the schedule for JFCS’s 24th Annual Benefit 8 Benefit Raffle There are several great prizes up for grabs in this year’s Raffle 12 Perlmans Seniors in the community benefit thanks to an Endowment June and Al Perlman created A little heart goes a long way Annual Benefit (Continued from page 1) observational humor. “I really liked Alan King and George Carlin.” He enjoys performing for any audience, but said he always feels a unique kinship with Jewish crowds. “Comedy unites the community and makes people feel proud,” he said. “I definitely have a special connection to Jewish audiences.” Benefit Co-Chairs Rhonda Stein and Jennifer Ezrilov, along with their Steering Committee, are excited to present MODI and Taras Umrysh at JFCS’s 24th Annual Benefit. The festive evening will offer a dessert reception, “40 and Under” Pre-Party, fabulous mini silent auction, two exciting raffles and more.

With its Career Services, Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS) assists individuals in making deliberate decisions at critical points in their lives. Whether it’s helping explore career options, assessing strengths and interests, or sharpening job-search skills, JFCS aids people in achieving career satisfaction — including individuals with unique barriers. The following are a few examples of clients JFCS has helped in the past year. Teacher able to return to work in education Bonnie* is a licensed ESL teacher but has had difficulty the past several school years getting a full-time position. Deciding to seek work outside the education field, she came to JFCS for help through its Career Services. Bonnie participated in the agency’s Platinum Program, available to Hennepin County residents ages 50 and older who are struggling in the current economic downturn. Career Development Program Manager Leah Temkin helped her rework her résumé and provided moral support during her job search. Though she was open to non-teaching jobs, Bonnie ended up getting a full-time teaching position this school year and is happy her efforts have paid off. “Leah really did prop me up emotionally,” she said. “She let me know that I really was not worse off than most of the folks she worked with. That made me feel much better — to know that what was happening to me was not personal.” Job interviewing for the first time in years After he lost his job in February, Sam* was unsure of where to go for help. He went into his father’s business when he was young and only held one other longtime job throughout his career, so was very inexperienced in job interviewing. He was referred to JFCS, where he participated in the Platinum Program, regularly attending networking and training sessions. Employment Development Facilitator Aaron Karasov helped him build his résumé and taught him how to maximize his job potential on Facebook and LinkedIn. Training Coordinator Christina Vega helped him develop his “elevator speech,” to convey in 30 seconds why an employer should hire him. “Until then, I didn’t know how to introduce myself to a job interviewer correctly,” Sam said. He also took a course on Microsoft Excel through JFCS, which he said was extremely beneficial. Thanks to his efforts, Sam was offered a position as a customer service representative with a communications company. “The patience and dedication all the people at JFCS showed was phenomenal,” he said. “I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.” Overcoming barriers to find a job After coming to JFCS, Jane* was offered a job as a driver with a company that transports participants to therapy sessions and other appointments. Career Placement Specialist Melissa Lowe worked with her on her résumé and interviewing and marketing skills. Jane is transgender and was facing mental health and employment history challenges in her job search. “With Jane, it was a lot about building confidence and letting her know she had the skills to succeed,” Lowe said. She added that many clients don’t know how to address work history and employment gaps during job interviews, but JFCS career specialists can help with this issue. Jane praised Lowe’s assistance in helping her secure a job. “Melissa’s a very nice person to work with — and it’s nice to have a job,” she said. JFCS serves as support system for job seeker Kate* was referred to JFCS in the spring as part of the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). As a single mother with no family support in the Twin Cities, she often relied on JFCS as her support system. The agency helped her set up financial assistance for childcare and gas and even helped pay for her certified nursing assistant (CNA) class. Two weeks after passing her CNA test, Kate was offered a job at a nursing home. “It’s not as easy as it used to be to get a job,” she said. “I’m grateful to get one as quick as I did.” She praised JFCS Intake and Employment Facilitator Ann Jacobs for calming her down during stressful times and helping her navigate her CNA training and job search one step at a time. “I’m really grateful,” Kate said. “I’m trying to get off welfare assistance, but it’s not easy.” *Names changed for privacy reasons directions • Winter 2012 11 Gifts From the Heart Donor news of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis Pearls of the community O ne thing that has remained consistent throughout Al and June Perlman’s 50-year marriage is the presence of a canine. The dogloving couple received their first poodle as a wedding gift and plan to celebrate their 50th anniversary this winter with their ninth poodle, Sassy. Another thing that has been a constant in the Perlmans’ lives is showing kindness and generosity to the community. They support many agencies in the Twin Cities and are longtime supporters of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS), where they have an endowment fund that supports the agency’s L’Chaim Senior Services (LCSS) Program. Thanks to the Perlmans’ support of the LCSS program, hundreds of seniors are able to receive kosher Meals on Wheels deliveries, shopping assistance, Deikel Transportation rides, home visits from case managers and other services that allow them to age in place and remain independent. 12 Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis The Perlmans chose to allocate their endowment fund to senior services after seeing the positive effect it was having on residents who are JFCS clients at their condo complex in Minnetonka. “I would see the happiness the services brought to our neighbors,” June said about their decision to support the LCSS Program. Though Al and June tend to be private and low-key (they were hesitant to allow JFCS to feature them in its newsletter), their contributions to the agency have a huge positive effect on the community. “We just want people to be able to take advantage of the services and that it will do good,” Al said. “The Perlmans are two of the most quiet, unassuming donors I have had the privilege of getting to know in the 25 years I’ve been in development,” remarked Neal Frank, JFCS Planned Gifts Director. “It’s heartwarming to hear about the satisfaction they derive from knowing that our LCSS clients receive quality care and services, enabling them to age safely and comfortably.” Al and June know first-hand the effect in-home services for seniors can provide. June’s father was a widower and she and her sister were responsible for much of his care when he was elderly. June recalls how the community in their small town rallied around the family, offering its support. She believes JFCS helps provide that communal feeling in the Twin Cities. Al’s mother suffered from Parkinson’s disease when she was a senior and he frequently helped her get dressed and walk to the mailbox. “I saw my folks age and it wasn’t easy,” Al said. “It fell to me and June.” Though Al’s parents were never wealthy, they liked to give to charity when possible. He and June are glad they are in a position where they can carry on that giving tradition. “As long as we’re able to do this, we feel good supporting various agencies,” Al said. “We enjoy doing it.” Anita B. Schwartz: A Promise Fulfilled JFCS addresses hunger and nutrition in numerous ways In the past fiscal year, JFCS has provided > JFCS is a member of the Hunger-Free Minnesota movement campaign to close Minnesota’s gap of 100 million missing meals for Minnesotans in need. “This permanent endowment fund that bears her name is a testament to her thoughtful generosity as well as her concern for the welfare of the elderly in need,” said Judy Halper, JFCS Chief Executive Officer. “For Anita, there were many issues of integrity, and she stood firm with those,” said her nephew, Wynn Schwartz. Anita had high standards and upheld them with an intensity and commitment that made people take notice. JFCS is extremely grateful to Anita and her gift to the agency.

NextGen, a JFCS program launched in January 2012, aims to reach the next generation of philanthropists. With a Board, Fund and Club, NextGen engages its members through leadership, handson giving, and a variety of volunteer, professional and social events. The NextGen Board is made up of 25 young professionals, ages 22–31. It includes Twin Cities natives and transplants, working across all fields, representing different religions, all committed to the mission of JFCS. One of the Board’s tasks is to disburse funds the NextGen program raises. Each quarter, the Board receives proposals from various JFCS programs in need of support. After reviewing the proposals, it decides how much money to give to each. Board members consider many factors when making this decision, including but not limited to, volunteer opportunities connected to the programs. This process provides a well-rounded understanding of JFCS’s programs and clients and handson experience with the people benefiting from their donations. Having the opportunity to allocate funds is not only fun and exciting for the Board members, but also highly educational. From start to finish, the process of raising, managing and disbursing money gives members a valuable lesson in philanthropy and making a difference in people’s lives. In the long run, the latter might be the most priceless lesson of all.
