Saul Schottenstein Foundation Helps Vulnerable Individuals Enjoy the High Holidays

Committed to the power of tikkun olam (repairing the world), Saul Schottenstein, z"l, demonstrated his devotion to Jewish Miami by creating a lasting legacy that has helped thousands of individuals and families in the community facing food insufficiency. Earlier this month in advance of Rosh Hashanah, clients of JCS Kosher Food Bank received grocery gift cards along with their regular food packages, allowing them to add something special to their holidays. This thoughtful act, provided by the Saul Schottenstein Foundation, allowed them to shop with dignity for specific items that reflect their family traditions, despite the financial challenges they may be facing. The program also provides grocery gift cards in advance of Chanukah, Passover and during the summer. A resident of Columbus, Ohio, and a World War II veteran, Schottenstein always enjoyed his time at his second home in Miami. We remain grateful for his philanthropy, which continues to touch hundreds of lives every year.
