Nadlers to receive JFCS Friends of the Family Award
JFCS Legacy Society established to honor those who include JFCS in their estate plans
Since its beginning, Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS) has supported
the belief that the ability to succeed and thrive in life is inherent in every child.
Our goal is for all young people in our community to have the opportunities, tools and help they need to live rich, full and happy lives. We want to see each young person we work with feel confident to grow and discover themselves in new and challenging ways. Of JFCS’ more than 40 critically-needed, life-enriching programs and services, many are dedicated to the needs of children and youth.
At the very beginning, JFCS celebrates new life and welcomes babies and young families with a Shalom Baby welcome bag. The PJ Library program enriches young Jewish lives with free monthly Jewish-themed books for babies and toddlers, and hosts family-friendly events designed to make all feel connected and engaged in the community.
As children grow, attending summer camp provides lasting memories, as well as critical steps on a child’s path to a healthy and productive life. The JFCS Camp Scholarship Program makes it possible for many youth who otherwise wouldn’t be able to experience those opportunities to learn to work together, make choices, take responsibility, develop creative skills, build independence and gain confidence.
Haylee Davis was one of those youth who benefited from a JFCS Camp Scholarship several years ago. She is now serving as the Assistant Director of Camp Teko.
“Growing up at a Jewish summer camp shaped me into the person I am today and it would not have been possible without the various camp scholarships I

received from JFCS,” Haylee said. “The friendships I made and the memories that were created will never be forgotten.”
As Teko’s Assistant Director, she hopes to make it possible for more Jewish youth to attend summer camp and become involved with the Jewish community.
JFCS’ Children and Youth Services align with our mission to sustain healthy relationships, ease suffering and offer support in times of need. Research shows that Big Brother/Big Sister mentoring has a long-lasting, profoundly positive effect on children’s confidence, grades and social skills. Relationships with parents and peers become stronger, decision-making improves and overall life ambitions become higher.
Our Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister (BB/BS) Program, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2015, empowers Jewish children in need of a special friendship and their families by providing unconditional, personally matched, Jewish mentoring friendships.
And most often the “Bigs” get as much out of the relationship as the “Littles”! Lia Harel, who created the cover artwork, has been a “Big” in the program since 2013 – her mom encouraged her to become a mentor as a great opportunity to gain leadership and grow as a person. Lia is grateful she followed her advice, as the experience has been life-changing.
Lia, a high school freshman, admitted there was a little bit of a barrier when she first met her 10-year-old “Little,” but that they’ve strengthened their bond in the months and years since that first meeting. “We’ve made progress and strengthened our relationship, and now we’re great friends,” Lia said.
Lia has learned a lot about Orthodox Judaism from her “Little.” The two regularly go on fun outings or sometimes just hang out at Lia’s house, where they play games and work on art projects. Being a “Big” has had a big effect on Lia. “I really enjoy seeing how I’ve changed,” she said. “I’ve definitely become my own person and grown a lot.”
Other Children and Youth Services at JFCS include the Parent-Child
Home Program (PCHP), Healthy Youth-Healthy Communities, Family Life Education, Counseling, Play Therapy and more.
In addition to the programs for children and youth, many more benefit from other JFCS services not specifically
dedicated to children. About 1,000 individuals receive Chanukah gifts each year thanks to JFCS’ Hag Sameach Program, ensuring that the holiday season for their children will be a happy one.
Children also benefit when their families are able to remain financially stable thanks to JFCS’ Career Services/Emergency Financial Assistance programs and/or emotionally stable thanks to our Counseling Services.
Each year, JFCS serves over 16,000 people of all ages and all backgrounds who are in need. At its heart is a deep commitment to help provide a bright future for all the youth it serves.
“To me, finding a creative way to portray a joyful child meant using vibrant colors, striking patterns and animated movements. Using a combination of construction paper and water colors, my picture shows a girl roaring with laughter as her multicolored braids swoosh all around her. She reminds me of the youthful innocence we all have within us – the kind that can give us the giggles at even the smallest pleasures in life. That is true happiness.” –Lia Harel
About the cover artArtist Lia Harel, 14, said she has grown and matured a lot since becoming a “Big” with JFCS’ Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister (BB/BS) Program. Below is her artist’s statement regarding the piece she designed for the cover of “Directions,” which conveys the joy of childhood.
Below is “Little,” Esther’s, art piece, which also represents the joy of childhood.
Thank you to both our “Big” and “Little” artists!
“When I was asked to draw a picture of a happy child, I saw this picture and I thought it was exactly what I was looking for!”

Many parents work to instill the value of giving back to the community in their children,
but few put this desire in writing. The fact Charles (Chuck) and Candice Nadler included this value in an official family “mission statement” they drafted more than 20 years ago along with their children, Geoffrey and Emma – who were mere adolescents at the time – demonstrates how serious they are about it.
Along with commitments to maintaining high moral standards and education, the Nadler Family Mission Statement says: “We shall always strive to help others who are in need.” Unsurprisingly, these traits were
instilled in Geoffrey and Emma, who have continued a long family tradition of serving the community.
For many years, JFCS has been a fortunate recipient of the Nadlers’ generosity, time and wisdom. It is for this reason they will be presented with the 2015 JFCS Friends of the Family Award at the 27th Annual Benefit on Dec. 5.
“In almost every way possible, the Nadler family has provided strong support to JFCS,” said Judy Halper, JFCS Chief Executive Officer. “Beginning with George and Edith Nadler of blessed memory, the family has provided critical financial support to JFCS. In addition to financial support, Candice and Chuck have given much
more to the organization. Candice has been a staff member and both have been dedicated volunteers. Daughter Emma serves on the JFCS staff today. Whenever a need arises, they have not waited to be asked, but rather stepped forward and offered to do what they can.”
Chuck said one of the reasons the family supports JFCS is because it serves both the Jewish and broader community. “It’s an inclusive thing,” he said. “I like that – at the end of the day, we all have to support each other.”
For more than a decade, Candice worked as a therapist in JFCS’ Counseling department, with a special fondness and talent for working with children. She began as an intern while

she worked on receiving her clinical licensure and eventually was hired as a paid staff member. She worked at JFCS for 13 years before retiring.
One of the things Candice loves about JFCS is the spectrum of services it offers – a client might come in for financial assistance and end up being referred to Career Services, Counseling or another area he/she can benefit from. “Because JFCS is one organization that offers help and support in so many ways, you can really make meaningful life-long changes,” she said. “JFCS can help an individual or an entire family holistically.”
After discovering so many great things about JFCS from Candice, Chuck’s parents, Edith and George Nadler, became strong supporters of the agency. They established the Edith and George E. Nadler Endowment Fund to provide special services for seniors at the agency and also left an estate gift to JFCS.
Candice’s experience left an impression on Emma as well. She followed in her mother’s footsteps – she has been a counselor herself at JFCS since 2009. She and Candice worked together for several years. “I loved working with my mom,” Emma said. “We had such a good time and I learned so much from her.”
Candice and Chuck have an Endowment at JFCS as well – the Charles and Candice Nadler Family Fund to support the Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister Program. Big Brother/Big Sister programs have always had a special place in Chuck’s heart. For many years he was a Big Brother with Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities.
Chuck served on the JFCS Investment Committee and led the development of its Investment Policy statement, which governs its activities. He currently serves on the Jewish Community Foundation Investment Committee, which also plays a role in investing JFCS endowment funds.
Their son, Geoffrey, is heavily involved in community service in California, where he lives. He serves on the Board of Directors at Temple Beth El in San Pedro and on committees for the Jewish Symphony and Jewish Federation Real Estate and Construction Division.
Emma said it’s great to continue the Nadler family tradition by working at JFCS. “All programs and services at JFCS provide the highest quality of care for all clients, regardless of ability to pay. I like being able to work with anyone who seeks our help,” she said. “I feel grateful to be there. I love the work and I love the mission.”
Halper said JFCS is fortunate to have support from great families like the Nadlers. “They leave a legacy of caring and sharing that we hope will continue with the next generation of Nadlers, Avi and Eden!”

Since its founding in 1910, volunteers have been at the heart of the work
JFCS does and critical to its leadership in serving the community. Today, JFCS is proud to have a strong foundation of 800-plus volunteers – our “iceberg.”
However, we recognize that iceberg faces challenges as our volunteers age, move away, become engaged in diverse activities or find they align with other opportunities that meet their needs in different ways. To remain resilient, we are creating a robust new vision for volunteering – to prevent the iceberg from disappearing.
JFCS is committed to being both proactive and reactive in our self-examination and approach to engaging volunteers. We are excited to let the community know that we were chosen this year for the Service Enterprise (SE) Initiative, which works to help non-
profits serve and work with volunteers as effectively and efficiently as possible. We embarked on this journey to take a good hard look at both what we are doing right and where we have work yet to do in volunteer engagement.
As participants in just the second SE cohort in the state, we have had the opportunity to both learn from the best and alongside other outstanding non-profit peers in the Twin Cities. We have helped each other push the envelope to explore new ways of engaging volunteers and what that might look like for our organizations.
We look forward to rolling out new opportunities and JFCS expects to receive Service Enterprise accreditation later this fall. Certified Service Enterprises are “more adaptable, sustainable and capable of scaling their impact in comparison to peer
organizations and, as a result, are able to more effectively deliver on the social mission of their organization.” When we reach this goal, we will be a leader in volunteer engagement, not just in Minnesota, but in the United States.
For over 105 years, volunteers have played an essential role in JFCS’ mission to provide help and offer support to those in need. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our efforts to keep our iceberg strong and vital.
Volunteers change lives for the better – possibly even their own. Interested in joining our iceberg and volunteering for JFCS? We’ll make it easy for you with a variety of programs and services that offer something for everyone. Choose one-time, short-term or ongoing volunteer opportunities that best fit your time and interests.

TWIN CITIES JEWISH COMMUNITY
PRESENTS THE 15TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
ON MENTAL HEALTH
Featuring KeynoterAdam Levy
Honeydogs rock band lead singer responds to the
tragic suicide of his son
Sunday, November 8
at St. Paul JCC1375 St. Paul Ave, St. Paul
The 15th Annual Twin Cities Jewish Community Conference on Mental
Health, “Embracing Hope, Erasing Stigma,” will be held 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, at the St. Paul JCC (1375 St. Paul Ave., St. Paul). This is the first time the conference has been presented at the JCC.
The event, which is free and open to all, will feature a keynote address from Honeydogs lead singer Adam Levy, whose new solo record, Naubinway, responds to the tragic suicide of his son, Daniel, in 2012. The conference will offer two sessions of workshops with 20 topics to choose from, covering mental health issues affecting youth to people in the later stages of life.
Adam Levy has led The Honeydogs, Minneapolis-based roots rock-pop chameleons, for more than 20 years. He’s also led collaborations in genres ranging from classical to soul, children’s to experimental music, and been a social worker, teacher, mentor and activist in political causes. His first solo album, to be released this fall by Think Piece Publishing, focuses on his son, Daniel’s, struggles with mental illness and subsequent suicide in 2012 at age 21. It is Adam’s most personal record to date, relying heavily on his guitar playing, voice and provocative lyrics.
In the years since Daniel’s death, Adam has organized forums with other musicians on mental health issues and has spoken out publicly about what it’s like to parent a child who is determined to die. His keynote will include
performance of songs from his new album, Naubinway. ASL interpretation will be available during the keynote session.
The Mental Health Education Project (MHEP) presents the Annual Conference on Mental Health. MHEP is a collaborative program of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS) and Jewish Family Service of St. Paul (JFS).
Registration for the conference can be completed online or by mail. To register online, go to www.jfcsmpls.org. To register by mail, call JFS at 651-698-0767 to request a conference brochure and registration form. Everyone who registers by Oct. 23 will receive a box lunch at no charge. Dietary laws will be observed.

Members of the newly-named society will be honored throughout the years in different ways and venues.
“We want to express our appreciation to all those visionaries, past and present, who recognize JFCS’ 100 year-plus service to the community and the value of financial stability their future gifts can provide the agency,” said Judy Halper, JFCS Chief Executive Officer.
Join our ever-growing number of donors who have signed a Promise for the Future – the Promise may be found on our website, www.jfcsmpls.org. If you’ve already made a provision in your estate plan and haven’t yet notified us, please let us know, even if you prefer anonymity. We’ll honor that request.
Your Promise for the Future honors JFCS’ past service, recognizes its present contribution to the welfare and betterment of our community and helps ensure a vital future. For more information about legacy giving please contact Dana Rubin at 952-542-4803.
A Promise Fulfilled
Make a Promise: JFCS Legacy Society
Many decades ago Erv Grossman put the heart in JFCS – literally. His company, Grossman Design, was commissioned to design the logo for JFCS and Erv himself designed the classic heart logo that JFCS still uses today.
Erv and his wife, Arlis, who already have an Endowment fund with JFCS, recently ensured that their support for the agency will continue long into the future by signing a Promise for the Future to JFCS.
“We think JFCS is one of the best agencies in the Twin Cities and feel very strongly about its commitment to the community,” Erv said. Arlis added that wherever there is a need, JFCS jumps to addressing it and is always looking to help under-served people – regardless of their age or background.
Arlis learned all about the great services JFCS provides when she served on its Board for many years. The problem back then was that JFCS was “the best kept secret in town” and many people didn’t know about it.
She is happy that community awareness about JFCS has grown over the years. “JFCS really has become a self-sustaining organization that is no longer the best kept secret in town,” she said.
A Promise Made
Legacy Giving
Sue Levin was not surprised when she found out her mother, Geraldine “Gerry” Rosenberg, included JFCS as a beneficiary of her estate. Gerry, who passed away in 2014, received therapy services from JFCS’ Counseling department for many years. “She felt really connected to JFCS and the services they are able to provide for children and families,” Sue said.
She said her mother was the type of person who always showed appreciation to people who helped her, often bringing gifts to her doctors and counselors. “My mom was a very spiritual person, strongly rooted in her Judaism,” Sue said. “For her, giving back was natural – that’s the kind of person she was.”
Like many of our donors, Gerry never notified JFCS that she included the agency in her estate plan. Despite our efforts to reach out to the community and find out who has made these provisions, we aren’t always aware. We would have liked to recognize Gerry for her thoughtful generosity during her lifetime.
Gerry’s name will be added to JFCS’ ever-growing list of donors who have left a lasting legacy, a testament to their concern for the welfare and betterment of our community. We are thrilled and honored whenever a JFCS supporter includes the agency as a beneficiary of their estate – and would like the opportunity to thank them in person.
“Please don’t wait to let us know that you have included JFCS in your estate plans – even if you wish to remain anonymous,” said Neal Frank, JFCS Planned Gifts Director. “We want to be able to thank you before receiving your financial legacy.”
