Kerry Bader: Embodying the spirit of JFCS
I
t’s simply just part of Kerry Bader’s
makeup to be extremely dedicated
and hard working, according to her
husband, Scott, who has known her since
she was 12 years old. “Kerry has always
loved to volunteer and make a difference
– and she clearly has,” he said, referring
to the countless hours of volunteering
she has done for various community
organizations, ever since she was a
teenager.
Kerry began volunteering for Jewish
Family and Children’s Service of
Minneapolis (JFCS) almost 20 years
ago. Prior to that, she had worked with
several other organizations in the Jewish
community. She originally came to
JFCS because she was looking for a new
organization to get involved with – one
where she felt she could truly make a
difference in people’s lives.
“Once I started volunteering, I was
so impressed with the organization and
how it was run,” Kerry said. “It’s a very
inclusive organization. It’s not just about
how much money you have. You can give
money and/or time.”
Almost two decades later, Kerry is as
involved at JFCS as ever. For her longtime service to the agency, JFCS has
named Kerry its 2015 Spirit of JFCS
Award winner. The Spirit Award is
the highest honor JFCS awards to an
individual who demonstrates outstanding
leadership and service to the agency, its
clients and community.
JFCS Chief Executive Officer Judy
Halper said Kerry is passionate about
the service the agency provides and cares
deeply about the strength of our Jewish
and broader communities.
“When it comes to giving from the
heart, no one does it better than Kerry,”
she said. “She truly understands that it
is by example and by leading that the
next generation will continue the work
we begin today. Kerry is a great choice to
embody the spirit of JFCS!”
Kerry was surprised with the news of
the honor at a JFCS Board meeting this
spring. “I was in shock – it was so far
from my mind to get this nice honor,”
she said. “I do it because I love it. I’m so
committed to JFCS because it’s such a
wonderful organization.”
Kerry served on the JFCS Board
of Directors for eight years, including
two years as an honorary advisor to the
Board. Additionally, she chaired the
Board Development Committee for two
years and has served on the Nominating
and Marketing Committees of the Board.
She co-chaired JFCS’ Annual Benefit
twice and also co-chaired the Give2014
annual fundraising campaign.
She has been instrumental to the
success of JFCS’ NextGen Program,
which is a Fund, Club, and Board for
people ages 21-36 that inspires the next
generation of leaders. Halper said Kerry
was a motivator of the program before it
launched five years ago.
When she was growing up, he was
involved in just about every organization,
she said, pointing out that he was one
of the founders of the Sabes Jewish
Community Center and even developed
the concept of a “Career Job Fair” back
in the 1970s, when no one had heard of
anything like that.
“Giving back is so important
and it’s important to instill
that in the next generation.”
“I had gone to Judy and was very
concerned that the people involved and
committed to JFCS were getting older,”
Kerry said. “I believe it’s important that
the next generation learn about JFCS and
what it’s all about.”
Not only has Kerry been a champion
of JFCS NextGen, she is the JFCS
Board liaison to the program, mentors
its leadership, and has hosted an event
intended to engage NextGen parents.
“It’s hard to not use clichés when
talking about all the ways JFCS and
NextGen have benefited from Kerry’s
commitment and hard work,” JFCS
Development Associate Todd Sandler
said. “As well-worn as it sounds, she
really is one of a kind, and her actions in
helping shape the program speak louder
than words.”
Kerry said there are a lot of
misconceptions about the millennial
generation. “I love being around young
people,” she said. “I was so impressed
with how serious and committed they
were from the first NextGen Board
meeting on. I don’t think this generation
is apathetic or self-centered at all. It’s
important to listen to what motivates
them to give.”
Kerry said she is passionate about
community involvement due to the
influence of her father, Bill Aberman.
Kerry, along with Scott, and her
brothers David (Carolyn) and Rick
(Karen), created an Endowment at JFCS
in 1997 in honor of Bill and their mother,
Bailee Aberman. The “Bill and Bailee
Aberman Family Fund for the hearing
impaired and for use as needed for client
services,” honors Bailee, who was hearing
impaired throughout her life.
Kerry, who has been a Realtor for
many years, said volunteering at JFCS
and other local organizations provides
great balance to her professional life.
Scott said he has been impressed with her
dedication and generosity ever since they
were kids. “I was proud of her then and I
could not be more proud of her now,” he
said. “I am the luckiest man in the world
to be married to her.”
Much like she followed her father’s
volunteering example, Kerry and Scott’s
three children serve the community in
their own ways as well. “Giving back is
so important and it’s important to instill
that in the next generation,” she said. “I
just feel fortunate to have the life I’ve had
and been able to give back along the way.”

Program Highlights
After severe health complications, JFCS client
returns to workforce with help from Career Services
I
t is an understatement to say Steve
had experienced a couple difficult
years prior to coming to JFCS last
fall. In March 2013, he was laid off from
his job as a software developer that he
had held for nine years.
Around Thanksgiving of that year,
he became ill and was admitted to the
hospital with pneumonia. His lungs
became so inflamed, he had to be put on
a ventilator and into a medically-induced
coma. He is lucky to be alive and spent
five months recovering from his health
complications.
“I look so forward to
what 2015 and
beyond holds for me
and my family.”
When he felt well enough to try to
resume his career, he faced difficulties
returning to the workforce. He was able
to secure some contract work in his field
for a brief time, but when that ended,
his family members encouraged Steve to
come to JFCS Career Services for help.
Employment Specialist Anna Kaiser
helped him update his résumé, provided
assistance in his job search, and was a
constant moral support for him. Steve
also attended a networking session and a
customer service class with the agency.
“My experience with JFCS has been
a wonderful thing,” Steve said. “Anna’s
encouragement was fantastic! It’s easy
to get down – I got so tired of getting
rejection emails.”
He met other clients at JFCS who
were facing similar challenges in their
careers and said it was reassuring to
know that he wasn’t alone. The best
news came in January, when Steve was
offered an open-ended contract position
as a software consultant working with
the technology that he is experienced in.
Anna couldn’t have been more proud.
“Steve and I established a strong,
trusting relationship from the get-go,”
she said. “I will miss him terribly as a
client, but I am above and beyond ecstatic
that he not only secured a job, but a job
that he is very passionate about. That is
what it’s all about for us at JFCS.”
Steve is just so happy that he has
put these challenges behind him and is
grateful for the role JFCS played. “I had
quite a year in 2014, but with thanks to
God and many others, I can honestly
say that I am glad it is behind me and I
look so forward to what 2015 and beyond
holds for me and my family,” he said.

Program Highlights
Vocational Rehabilitation
program finds a strong and loyal
employer partner in MN FAIR Plan
J
FCS’ Vocational Rehabilitation program has placed many clients in jobs over
the years, but rarely have several ended up at one location, like they have at
MN Fair Plan, a Minneapolis non-profit.
It’s not a coincidence. Dee Ross, Administrative Services Manager for MN
FAIR Plan, said they hired their first JFCS Vocational Rehabilitation client in 2000
and have had a great working relationship with JFCS ever since.
MN Fair Plan works to give property owners and tenants an opportunity to
purchase limited property or homeowners insurance when they are unable to do
so in the voluntary market. It has employed up to three people from JFCS’
Vocational Rehabilitation program, who collectively have provided more than
30 years of service.
The Vocational Rehabilitation program provides specialized services to
individuals with disabilities who are seeking to obtain or maintain employment.
Ross said clients in this program sometimes face challenges outside of work that can
lead to difficulties in performing their jobs.
“Anything that will affect an employee’s work product or peace of mind is
important to address,” she said. “If there is any problem, JFCS will help.”
As their supervisor, Ross understands if one of the clients is facing issues and has
to miss a day of work. “JFCS has always been very upfront and I’ve enjoyed working
with them,” she said. “Other employers should look at using them too. Just because
someone has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t do a great job.”
“JFCS has helped me in many ways over the years.
If I didn’t have these services, I probably
wouldn’t have a job.”
Pamela
Pamela was hired at MN FAIR Plan through JFCS and has
been working there since 2001. She suffers from memory
issues, making work a challenge, but finds the routine of
working in a mailroom helpful. She meets regularly with JFCS Employment Counselor
Heather Karson to discuss her goals for job attendance
and communicating with her supervisor. Pamela praised
Ross for being flexible to the needs and challenges she faces
in getting to work and performing her job. She added that
JFCS has been indispensable to her success.
“JFCS has helped me in many ways over the years,” Pamela said. “If I didn’t have
these services, I probably wouldn’t have a job.”
Barb
Barb was hired at MN FAIR Plan in 2006 and also worked in the mailroom for many
years. While working there, she met regularly with Karson, where they discussed
any issues Barb was having at her job. “We talked a lot about communication and
the interpersonal aspects of work,” Karson said. “I saw her benefit a lot from our
meetings.”
George
George, who suffers from a degenerative
disc disease, has been a client of JFCS
off and on for many years. When he was
looking for a job a few years ago, he came
back to the agency. “JFCS served me well
in the past – I liked their help the first
time around,” he said.
He also was hired to work in MN
FAIR Plan’s mailroom. “I’ve been limited
physically,” George said. “It causes a lot of
issues. I’m fortunate to have this job that
allows me to work these minimal hours.”
He also lives with bipolar disorder,
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), and attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He
meets regularly with Karson to make sure
his health issues are managed.
“I work to continue to stay
independent, both physically and
mentally,” George said. “Heather is very
supportive. If there is anything I need,
she helps me get it.”
He added that JFCS has provided
him Emergency Financial Assistance
funds when his car needed repairs and
when he needed assistance with rent.
He also has a case manager in JFCS’
Mental Health Support Services who
assists him regularly.
Having a job these last few years has
been huge for George. “Everything I
have, I would not have gotten if I didn’t
have this job,” he said. “If you feel like
you’re down and out, JFCS provides
hope. And hope is a big deal when you
don’t have any.”
Introducing: Food and Basic Needs Program
Assisting people of all backgrounds
in times of crisis and financial hardship
Through a new collaborative partnership with
PRISM, a community-supported social service
organization that operates a unique food shelf and
thrift shop, JFCS offers a comprehensive response
to meet emergency needs when they arise.
The unique vision of this partnership is to expand
assistance and re-envision a food shelf as a place
that not only provides free groceries in times of
crisis, but offers comprehensive services and support
essential to ensuring long-term stability, selfsufficiency and food security.
New Opportunities for Volunteers
The work and support of volunteers has always been
at the heart of success for both JFCS and PRISM,
and the need continues to grow. The partnership
provides meaningful new opportunities for JFCS
volunteers who have always done so much to help
those in our community who are in need. Most
urgent is the need for individual volunteer help in
the food shelf and thrift shop during open hours.
PRISM is also a great place for family and group
volunteering. While all projects must first be
arranged with PRISM staff, there are fun and
creative ways to support PRISM’s mission.
Ideas include:
•Shopping at the farmer’s markets to provide
fresh produce
•Creating various packages, kits or bags that
include a variety of items
•Hosting birthday parties or special events at
PRISM to help spread the word

Springtime Events
JFCS celebrated Tu B’Shvat
with a Seder for its Jewish Big Brother/
Big Sister (BB/BS) Program and celebrated
Passover with the annual Tybie Proman
Passover Seder for adults with disabilities.
Donor Highlights
Volunteer and donor Gary Diamond
views his support of JFCS
as a way to honor his parents
L
ongtime JFCS supporter Gary
Diamond had a specific reason
for creating an Endowment fund
at the agency — he wanted to honor his
mother, as well as his father’s memory.
Before he created the fund, “The Mike
and Mitzi Diamond Family Fund for use
where most needed,” Gary was under
the impression JFCS only supported
the Twin Cities Jewish community. He
was extremely pleased when he learned
it helped people of all backgrounds.
“It’s important to support the Jewish
community, but I’m all about supporting
everybody,” he said.
Many years ago when Gary’s
father retired, he spent a lot of time
volunteering at a hospital. Gary wanted
to follow in his father’s footsteps and do
something that served the community
when he retired from the insurance
industry a few years ago. He found his
calling in becoming a regular volunteer
driver for JFCS’ Deikel Transportation
program.
With Deikel Transportation, Gary
and the other volunteer drivers provide a
convenient, reliable way for older adults
to get to a doctor appointment, grocery
store, pharmacy and more. “It’s helping
people that need it,” Gary said. “I enjoy
talking and getting to know the people I
give rides to.”
He said volunteering for JFCS was
a great way to remain active in his
retirement. “I feel fortunate to be in the
position I am and I realized it was time to
do something for other people that have
needs,” Gary said.
In the couple years that Gary has been
a volunteer driver, he has become a true
asset to the program, said Deb Savitt,
JFCS Community Involvement Manager.
“Not only is Gary a great driver, but
he is such a wonderful individual,” she
said. “His enthusiasm for our program is
contagious, and he is a great ambassador
for JFCS and the Deikel Transportation
program.”
Neal Frank, JFCS Planned Gifts
Director, said Gary is the kind of donor/
volunteer that JFCS values. “Gary is
a prime example of an individual who
selflessly gives his time, talent and
financial support to benefit JFCS clients,”
he said. “Beyond his multi-faceted
support, I value the friendship we’ve
developed over the years.”
Gary and his wife, Kathy, recently
made provisions for a gift to JFCS
through their estate plan, which is
earmarked for the family’s Endowment
fund. “Since the funds will be used where
needed most, their thoughtful generosity
will leave a lasting legacy for generations
to come and benefit the clients we serve
forever,” Frank said.

Changing Lives
“My story began in 2006,
when I went to JFCS for counseling
because I was deeply unhappy and
could not figure out why. JFCS
interviewed me and paired me with a
therapist I have seen, off and on, since
that time.
Without notice, my life soon got a
lot more complicated. In 2007, my
9-year-old daughter was diagnosed
with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis;
in 2009, I separated from my husband
and we later divorced. In 2011, we
tragically lost my brother-in-law,
8-year-old nephew and 11-year-old
niece in a car accident. The only other
passenger in the car and lone survivor,
my 15-year-old niece, was diagnosed
with cancer while recovering in the
hospital from that same accident.
These were my children’s best
friends and cousins and they had
been together almost every day since
they were born. I was completely
devastated and lost. There is very
little I remember about that year,
but I do know that JFCS was by my
side the entire time. My daughter
started counseling at JFCS in 2011
and my son started seeing someone
in 2012. They both got involved in
the Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister
Program in 2013 and this program
has been life changing, especially for
my son. He was so young when all
these events began to happen and to
see his confidence emerge intact has
been a joy.
There are so many aspects of JFCS I
could talk about, but it is especially
important that I convey from my
heart this: JFCS is an essential
safety net in our community. It is
the organization that continues
to answer the question, ‘What
if…’ JFCS is an oasis of humanity
and it is through donors that this is
possible.”
– Molly H., JFCS Client

Donor Highlights
A ‘bond’ JFCS will always cherish
J
FCS’ Hag Sameach program ensures
that hundreds of families are able
to get what they need to have a joyous
Chanukah or Passover celebration, but
these programs would not be the same
without the help of Branching Out in
New Directions (BOND).
When the BOND organization
formed in the Twin Cities in 2008, it
was out of a desire to work with local
Jewish organizations and keep most
of its philanthropic dollars in the local
community. The members of BOND
were originally part of the Brandeis
University Auxiliary, a National
membership group that raises money to
go directly to the University.
“We are truly made to
feel good about the time
commitment we make and
the dollars our board votes
to donate each year.”
BOND is a group of nearly 300
women and a few men who wish to make
an impact in the Twin Cities through
community service. Since its inception,
BOND has been deeply involved at JFCS
for many years as volunteers and major
donors.
Under the leadership of Nancy
Garber, BOND Hag Sameach Volunteer
Coordinator, over 50 volunteers come
together for Chanukah and Passover
every year to sort, wrap and package gifts recipients, totaling over $70,000.

“The men and women that apply for
the women fill multiple volunteer shifts
college scholarships are truly deserving
and also are among the many volunteers
of our assistance,” said Judy Sherman,
delivering packages. BOND
members continue to be
engaged in Hag Sameach
throughout the year by
taking inventory and seeing
what needs to be purchased
or restocked.
Nancy said JFCS is the
most appreciative of all
the agencies where BOND
volunteers or donates. “We
get thanked repeatedly and
are truly made to feel good
about the time commitment
we make and the dollars our
board votes to donate each
year to Hag Sameach,” she
said.
Another major focus of
BOND is to ensure that
all young adults and those
returning to the workforce
have access to higher
education and the ability to

We are so proud of the difference we have
with college scholarships. Over the years, made and the feedback we get from those
BOND has awarded nearly 75 college
who we have awarded scholarships who
scholarships to Jewish and non-Jewish
say it is truly life-changing.”
Early childhood education is also an
issue critical to the BOND membership.
This year BOND members volunteered
for 100 hours in the Robbinsdale School
District, sitting side
by side with kids,
helping them with
reading, writing
and just being a
friend. Judy Sorrell,
BOND President
Elect, has been
volunteering in
the schools twice
a month. “When I
moved here from
San Francisco, I
was looking for
a social network
and got involved in
Brandeis (former
organization) for
those reasons,”
she said. “Now my
involvement has
moved way beyond
just social and I
continue to enjoy

community.”
It was BOND member Millie Segal
who had the idea of connecting with
JFCS when the group disbanded its
affiliation with Brandeis University
Auxiliary back in 2008. “Bells went off
in my head knowing that our money
would be staying local,” said Millie,

thought that we need to connect
ourselves with JFCS.”
BOND President Sheila Goldstein
said she is very proud of the impact the
organization has made at JFCS and
in the broader community and looks
forward to continuing this momentum
into the future.
We at JFCS are truly thankful for
the hard work, dedication and support
of the BOND membership. When you
add up the hours of volunteer work
they have done and the money that has
been donated to Hag Sameach, College
Scholarships and our Jewish Domestic
Abuse Collaborative, there is no denying
this remarkable group has made a
difference in the lives of hundreds, if not
thousands, of others. We are grateful
they have chosen JFCS to be a recipient
of their generosity.

In Memory of:

We note the following 9
individuals who passed away
between Aug. 1, and Nov. 30,
2014. 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.
