NSU Showcased at the Soref JCC’s Annual Meeting

Nova Southeastern University’s Irv Rosenbaum, Ph.D., VP – Health Professions Division, Operations; and Jill Gallner, administrative coordinator at the Alvin Sherman Library both received community service awards at the Soref Jewish Community Center’s Annual Meeting on Monday, June 7.

Rosenbaum is a past president of the Soref JCC and Jill is the current secretary. Both have vast records of community service and remain active in leadership roles at the Soref JCC.

Also announced at the meeting was the exciting new community partnership between the Soref JCC and the NSU Alvin Sherman Library. The Soref JCC is a non-profit organization that contributes to the welfare of the entire community, children, adults and seniors, by providing a center for cultural, educational, recreational and social programs and services while contributing to preserve Jewish traditions and values.

All the programs are inclusionary for the special needs population, and open to all, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender or background. The organization offers significant assistance to those in need by providing children’s scholarships and food from their WECARE pantry. The Soref JCC is a beneficiary agency of the Jewish Federation, United Way and Children’s Services Council all of Broward County.

This partnership will enable the two organizations to cross-promote each other’s programs and events and ultimately collaborate on joint initiatives. The Alvin Sherman Library is very excited to solidify another relationship with a new community partner.  This partnership with Soref JCC is sure to be a win-win for both organizations.
