Dear Board of Trustees:
I am pleased to report that your grant of $750,000 has led to the successful launch of Plaza Jewish Community Chapel as the first community-owned, not-for-profit, funeral chapel serving the New York City metropolitan area. JCF can be proud of the fact that the Plaza is increasing the quality of service and decreasing the cost of a Jewish funeral for hundreds of New York families.
...JCF should be particularly proud of the fact that Plaza is serving the needs of all Jewish denominations and that our Board includes rabbis from every denomination who are working together to ensure that the needs and desires of each family are paramount. We are delighted that our partnership with JCF has created a new communal institution in which we can all take great pride. Thank you so much for your support.
Sincerely,
Alfred B. Engelberg, President
