By Susan Jacobs
While 1 was growing up, the
happenings in the Charlotte Jew
ish community were always one
of the main topics of table conver
sation at family gatherings. Long
discussions about the temples or
the Amity Club kept all the adults
captivated. They talked about
B’nai Brith, Men and Women,
Hadassah, Federation, Sisterhood
and the Men’s Club, the Temple
Israel rummage store, the kosher
butcher, and every other aspect of
Jewish life in Charlotte. I do not
ever remember a time when the
center of my world was anything
other than what was happening on
a daily basis in all of these organ
izations. This might sound like it
would be dull and a burden, but
nothing could be further from the
truth.
I was so proud of my grandpar
ents and parents involvement in
our community. I loved to tell
people that I was Blanche and
Ben Jaffa’s granddaughter or Ben
and Florence Jaffa’s daughter.
They were dedicated to so many
Jewish organizations and deter
mined to make a difference by
volunteering their time and lead
ership skills. They also pledged
their resources to insure that their
children and grandchildren would
have the benefit of all of these
agencies in the future.
Their efforts have paid off. The
Charlotte Jewish community is
thriving and remains stronger than
ever. My parents, grandparents,
and their generation helped to cre
ate a vibrant community and now
my generation and future genera
tions must join them to preserve
and build upon it.
My life was blessed when I
married Donald, a native of De
troit, who immediately embraced
all things Jewish in Charlotte and
welcomed the opportunity to vol
unteer his own leadership skills
and enthusiasm to many organiza
tions in our community. Together,
we have pledged our own time
and resources to make sure that
our children and grandchildren
will continue to live in a thriving
Charlotte Jewish community. For
us, this means establishing en
dowment funds to supplement our
annual giving. This will enable
our gifts to work in the Jewish
community in perpetuity when we
are no longer here.
Our children will tell you that
the family table talk at Shabbat,
holidays, or family gatherings has
not changed much over time. It is
our hope that they will take pride
in their Jewish community and
tell future generations of their
family the importance of preserv
ing and maintaining it for genera
tions to come.
