Who Were Marilyn & Louis Safer?
Marilyn and Louis Safer, may their names be for a blessing, loved by all who knew them, were committed to keeping the synagogue as the center of Jewish life and learning. This philosophy is shared by their children, Eliot Safer, Cynthia Baron, Deena Richman and Shana Temel, who established the fund in their parents’ memory to provide underwriting for the Center’s annual Shabbaton weekend. The income from this endowment and the support of the patrons provides a financial base for each Shabbaton, allowing for superior Jewish lecturers and professional educators.
