SUMMARY:JBL Hall of Fame
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish Federation of Omaha invites the community to honor and celebrate the legacy of John Lehr & Arnold Joffe (Grace/Mayer) at their induction into the Jewish Business Leaders Hall of Fame. \nArnold Joffe was born 6 weeks early in Omaha in February of 1939. The doctor who delivered him said he was so small that his mother would never see him alive. Fortunately\, Arnold proved the doctor wrong. \nHe graduated from Central High School in 1957 and continued on to University Nebraska Lincoln where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. Arnold graduated with a BS in 1961\, majoring in insurance. \nAfter an extensive European cruise\, lasting from Saturday to Monday of the same week\, he started work at HA Wolf Company in the insurance division 2 days after graduating college. \nArnold worked for HA Wolf until 1977\, at which time he started his own insurance agency with two partners\, Bill Kully and Paul Grossman. They operated Joffe Kully Grossman insurance agency from 1977 through 1982. At that time\, he merged with the Grace Mayer Insurance Agency and partnered with Marty Lehr and Gary Kaplan. The company became Grace Mayer Joffe Kully Grossman Insurance. They quickly realized that the name was too long (and the only way to get your name on the door was to die) so they reverted back to Grace Mayer. \nThe firm grew from approximately 30 employees to an eventual 85. They handled commercial and personal insurance\, eventually adding livestock. This was one of the key contributions to Grace Mayer’s growth. In 2012 Grace Mayer was purchased by the Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Company. Arnold continued to work as a consultant until 2015\, at which time he retired\, culminating a 54-year career. \nAs a community leader\, Arnold served as president of Beth El Synagogue\, Highland Country Club\, and the Omaha Insurance Association. \nHe is the patriarch of his family\, having been married to his wife\, Sheryn\, for 57 years. The couple have two daughters and sons-in-law who all live in Omaha. Arnold is the proud grandfather of six grandchildren\, Tyler (Stephanie)\, Monica\, Josh\, Lily\, Lucy\, and Knox. \nArnold and Sheryn split their time between Omaha and Scottsdale. \n  \nJohn Lehr followed his grandfather Alfred Mayer and father Martin Lehr as the third generation of his family to work for and ultimately lead Grace/Mayer Insurance (est. 1917)\, prior to its 2012 merger with Arthur J. Gallagher and Co. He did part time projects there while at Westside High School and internships as an undergraduate at Duke University\, and ultimately joined the firm full time after working 2 years for Chubb and then earning his MBA at University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. \nAt Grace/Mayer\, in concert with his father Marty\, and friend\, mentor\, and co-inductee Arnold Joffe\, they started and grew a Life Insurance and Financial Planning Division\, an Employee Benefits Division\, and a Safety and Loss Control Services Consultancy to round out its core Commercial Property and Casualty specialty. Along the way they broadened their real estate\, food\, logistics\, and construction expertise to include technology\, livestock\, and financial services\, using tools inside and outside its walls to grow together with its amazing clients. \nAfter more than tripling its employee count\, raising its revenues seven-fold\, and welcoming 3  new non-family partners\, John led the successful merger with Gallagher\, the world’s 3rd largest insurance broker\, where he stayed 3 years to lead the Grace/Mayer integration and transition to Gallagher. \nWhile working and attending to his family\, he also spent many years on the boards of The Jewish Federation\, The Jewish Community Center\, Jewish Social Services (RBJH and JFS)\, and 20 years on the Temple Israel board\, culminating with the fund raising\, planning\, and construction of its new Sterling Ridge home as President. John was the fourth Temple President of his family\, following his grandfather and both parents. \nJohn is happily spending more time with his Denver attorney daughter Avery and her new husband Alex and dog Phil\, his Seattle data-scientist son Jacob and longtime girlfriend Natalie\, and his beautiful wife of 37 years Sandy\, in both Omaha and Frisco Colorado.

SUMMARY:Documentary - A Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann
DESCRIPTION:UNO’s College of Communication\, Fine Arts and Media in conjunction with the Institute for Holocaust Education\, B’nai B’rith Monsky Lodge\, and the UNO Schwalb Center for Israel and Jewish Studies\, present a screening of “A Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann.” This documentary tells the remarkable true story of David Kaufmann\, a central Nebraska businessman\, community leader\, and philanthropist\, whose actions impacted countless lives. \nA Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann\nDocumentary Film – Free Admission\nNo Registration Required.\nSunday\, October 6 | 7:00 pm\nAlan J. Levine Performing Arts Theater- 333 S. 132nd Street\, Omaha\, NE 68154 \nThe movie tells the remarkable true story of David Kaufmann\, a central Nebraska businessman\, community leader\, and philanthropist\, whose actions impacted countless lives.\nDavid Kaufmann emigrated from Germany and settled in Grand Island in 1903. His contributions to his adopted hometown of Grand Island and other communities he conducted business in\, including Kearney and North Platte\, were extensive. Kaufmann believed one person could make a difference in the lives of others and sought to inspire others to do good where they could. Kaufmann’s most significant\, and least known\, act of service was his quiet sponsorship of Jewish families fleeing the Nazi regime. Included in those saved were Marcel Kahn and his family. Despite his selfless actions that saved many lives\, Kaufmann never sought recognition for his humanitarian efforts. \nThe documentary features interviews with descendants of individuals Kaufmann helped leave Germany\, historians\, community leaders\, and individuals who remembered him. Reenacted scenes were filmed in Grand Island\, using local talent and support from the community. The project has also received generous support from various organizations\, including History Nebraska\, Humanities Nebraska\, Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation\, Nebraska Jewish Historical Society\, Stuhr Museum\, Buffalo County Historical Society\, and the University of Nebraska-Kearney.

SUMMARY:JCRC hosts Rebecca Clarren
DESCRIPTION:The Jewish Community Relations Council is proud to announce that journalist and award-winning author Rebecca Clarren is coming to Omaha for two programs on September 18 and 19\, 2024. The Community Conversation portion of the program on Wednesday\, September 18 at 7pm will focus on a conversation surrounding her latest book\, The Cost of Free Land: Jews\, Lakota and an American Inheritance.\n\nA blend of history\, journalism and memoir\, The Cost of Free Land investigates how 20th-century federal policies that gave her ancestors – Jews fleeing oppression in Russia – free land on the South Dakota prairie and a pathway to the middle class\, came at great cost to their Lakota neighbors. The book not only retells this entangled history but grapples with what can be done to reconcile the past.\n\n“Memorable… Fascinating… A deft mix of personal and social history that recounts the transfer of Native American lands to non-Indigenous settlers\, including Jews fleeing antisemitic violence. . . [The Cost of Free Land]\, troubling and inspiring\, seeks a humane path toward restitution.”—Kirkus (*starred review*)\n\nThe following day\, September 19 at 10 am in the Wiesman Reception Room at the JCC\, Rebecca will hold a Torah study and workshop focusing on the Jewish community in Omaha and the relationship with Native tribes.\nRebecca Clarren’s book\, The Cost of Free Land is available from the Kripke-Veret Library and local book stores.\nBoth events will be held on the Staenberg Kooper Fellman Campus\, 333 S 132nd Street\, and open to the entire community.\nContact Pam Monsky at pmonsky@jewishomaha.org for more information.
