But
we
make
a
life
by
what
we
give
and
what
you're
gonna
hear
today
from
all
of
my
colleagues,
is
how
much
but
Judy
his
children,
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren
have
given,
including
a
fact
that
he
probably
won't
tell
you,
and
that
is
that
as
a
past
president
of
the
Jewish
Federation
him
and
his
family
have
made
the
largest
endowment
eight-figure
gift
to
the
Federation,
to
help
others
in
Philadelphia.
Pretty
amazing,
pretty
amazing.
So
let
me
start
with
a
resolution
recognizing
and
honoring
Bernard
bud.
D
They
happen
to
be
a
business
owner
and
long
supporter
of
the
residents
and
underserved
communities
of
Northeast
Philadelphia
for
many
many
many
many
years
employing
those
who
need
it
and
deserve
second
chances
personally
personally,
firsthand
in
his
selection
of
employment
opportunities
and
I
want
to
thank
him
and
Judy,
because
that
leadership
has
demonstrated
how
he
operates
as
a
successful
business
owner
landowner
and
part
of
the
community
in
Northeast
Philadelphia.
Whereas
the
Jewish
Federation
serves
vulnerable
populations
facility,
community
engagement
promotes
Jewish
life
and
learning
and.

Alvaro
and
personal
privilege
dub.
He
was
buddy
at
the
time,
but
he
gave
me
my
first
job
in
the
summer
of
1966
and
we've
reconnected
a
couple
of
times,
but
it
was
the
hardest
job
I
ever
had
and
if
you
ever
need,
if
you
never
need
an
incentive
to
go
to
school,
so
you
don't
have
to
work
that
hard
get
a
job
up
at
Newman
paper
and
you'll
see
real
real
work.

Whereas
in
addition
to
mr.
Newman's
leadership
and
commitment
to
the
community,
mr.
Newman
and
his
family
made
a
generous
contribution
to
the
Jewish
Federation
to
assist
in
providing
for
the
dozens
of
Jewish
identity,
building
educational,
social
service
and
Israel
related
programs
and
institutions,
both
local
and
global,
that
the
Federation
supports
each
year
and.
I
K
M
For
me,
it
has
been
a
wonderful
experience,
especially
in
the
city
of
brotherly
love,
for
which
I
believe
so
strongly.
We
all
are
together
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
be
at
the
helm
of
the
Jewish.
Federation
has
given
me
much
greater
insight
into
the
needs
of
many
more
than
Jewish
people.
This
city
has
welcomed
our
Jewish
Federation
and
all
that
it
does
with
open
arms.
This
city
has
superb
citizenry,
its
people
are
open
and
willing
and
anxious
to
do
for
each
other,
the
world
and
the
rest
of
our
company.
M
Our
country
needs
to
recognize
that
this
City
Council
is
an
unusual
group
who
we
are
trying
very,
very
hard
to
do
that,
which
we
do
micro,
cosmically
in
the
Jewish
community
and
to
them
I,
send
and
give
my
praise,
and
thanks
for
my
wife,
Judy
standing
behind
me.
I
always
recognize
that
I
wouldn't
be
here
without
her,
because
without
her
support
it
wouldn't
happen
without
the
support.
