Remembering Myra Kraft

David Levy says farewell to Myra Kraft, who died at 68:

When I came to [Combined Jewish Philanthropies], I learned that [Kraft and her husband Robert] opened their home on the Cape for a CJP Staff Outing in the summer. And, of course, I'd run in to her in the hallways and elevators of CJP, because she was not just a donor - she was a volunteer whose presence, enthusiasm, and hard work mattered as much as her dollars.

She'll be greatly missed. Other philanthropists will surely contribute money to the causes she championed, both within and outside of the Jewish community. But no one will fill the void created by the lack of her smiling face, her ever-present pep-talks, and the love for her family that was palpable in every action she took.

May her memory be for a blessing.

Letter from CJP President Barry Shrage.
