What is the Jack F. Shorstein Senior Rabbinic Chair Endowment?
Created in memory of Jack F. Shorstein, the Jack F. Shorstein Senior Rabbinic Chair Endowment enables our community to host speakers who focus on contemporary issues and challenges and opportunities that Jewish leaders face.
A life-long member of the Jacksonville Jewish Center, Jack Shorstein, z”l, served as the synagogue’s President and played a central role as a lay leader within the larger Jewish community to foster friendships and commitment with three of the Center’s rabbis. Deeply devoted to the well-being of the Jewish people and perpetuation of a vibrant Judaism, his commitment to the cause of Jewish community and continuity was integral to his values and priorities.
