24TH annual benefit
Join us for an evening of comedy
that supports JFCS services
I
t will be a night of laugh-out-loud
comedy, socializing and goodwill at
Jewish Family and Children’s Service
of Minneapolis’ (JFCS) 24th Annual
Benefit on Saturday, December 1, at the
Hilton Minneapolis (1001 Marquette
Ave S).
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

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. For more information

JFCS Career Services helps job seekers succeed
I
n today’s economy many people have found themselves at a
crossroads in their career. 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.”

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.
Don’t wait until you near the end of
life to make a Promise for the Future.

A
nita B. Schwartz, or Anita B, as
friends lovingly referred to her,
will be remembered for many
reasons. A professional woman and
community volunteer, Anita was known
for her love of dogs and her trademark
trench coat she so often wore. A nononsense woman, she had an extensive
network of friends she referred to as
“the broads.”
Near the end of her life, she made
a promise to leave a living legacy to
Jewish Family and Children’s Service
of Minneapolis (JFCS). Anita passed
away just over a year ago and fulfilled
her promise by directing a portion of her
retirement assets to JFCS, earmarking it
for emergency financial assistance for
the elderly.

NextGen Board gets hands-on
experience in philanthropy
decision-making
W
ith 25 brains, one treasurer, a
few thousand dollars to spend
and countless passionate
opinions, the JFCS NextGen Board has
a lot to discuss when deciding how to
distribute money NextGen raises to
JFCS programs.
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.

In Memory of:
We note the following 6 individuals
who passed away between April 1 and
July 31, 2012. We thank their families
for thoughtfully designating JFCS
for their memorials. It is a beautiful
tribute to those who passed and a
fitting way to ensure their legacy will
continue to enhance the lives of many
others in the community. May their
memories always be for a blessing.
