It’s unanimous! Volunteer extraordinaire
Robin Sharpe Landy to receive Spirit of JFCS Award
A
fter serving six years on the JFCS
Board of Directors and another
two years as the Board President,
the first thought Robin Sharpe Landy
had when she was announced as the
2014 Spirit of JFCS Award winner
was disbelief.
But the reality is that there are few as
deserving as Robin for the Spirit Award,
which is the highest honor awarded to an
individual who demonstrates outstanding
leadership and service to our agency,
clients and community.
“I’m still surprised by it,” Robin said.
“But it’s a very nice honor and I’m
excited about it.” Robin will be presented
with the Spirit Award at the JFCS
Annual Meeting Thursday, June 12, at
Beth El Synagogue.
JFCS Chief Executive Officer Judy
Halper said that getting to work so
closely with Robin when she was Board
President was an absolute pleasure.
“Robin is consistently optimistic,
enthusiastic, and willing to do anything
she is asked.” Halper said. “As a
volunteer, Robin dedicates herself to
making sure all who seek help at JFCS
are served with dignity and respect. She
is the consummate JFCS ambassador and
so deserving of this award!”
Robin’s involvement at JFCS in
many ways originates with her father,
Sid Sharpe. Many years ago — after he
retired — Robin’s mother “didn’t want
him sitting on the couch — so he became
a huge volunteer for JFCS,” Robin said.
He volunteered many years for what
is now JFCS’s Deikel Transportation
Services, driving seniors to doctor’s
appointments and other errands.
He even wrote a book about his
experiences, “Tales of a
Volunteer Cabbie.”
For Robin, her own
involvement at JFCS began
in 1990 when she and her
family served as a host
family in the JFCS
Resettlement program.
She also volunteered as a
Citizen Advocate for the
program. Robin, who is
an attorney, used her law background to
help immigrants become U.S. citizens.
Because JFCS had been such a positive
part of her father’s life, Robin wanted
to get involved with the agency herself.
JFCS 104th Annual
Meeting, 6:30 p.m.
Thursday, June 12, at
Beth El Synagogue.

She thought it was a good way to bridge
her professional life with the Jewish
community. “I’m the only Jewish person
in my law firm,” she said. “It’s nice to
have that connection in the community.”
Later, Robin served as a “Big Sister”
in JFCS’s Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister
Program for several years. She has also
participated in countless client Passover
Seders and Chanukah parties.
“Robin’s day starts where most
people’s ends,” her proud husband,
Bryan, said. “Whether it’s a JFCS
meeting, volunteering to deliver Passover
bags, or being a Big Sister, she always
looks forward to her time in the many
capacities helping JFCS.” Thanks to
Robin’s meaningful experiences, he said,
their children, Barry, Julie and Erin, have
learned the value of volunteering and that
it is always better to give than to receive.
About 10 years ago, seeing the positive
impact Robin was making as a volunteer,
a JFCS staff member recommended
her to serve on the agency’s Board of
Directors. After serving six years on the
Board, Robin was asked to become Board
President in 2011. She said the two years

After beating chronic kidney disease, Lance
returns to working full-time with help from JFCS
W
hen Lance was diagnosed
in 2006 with End Stage
Renal Disease (ESRD), the
last stage of chronic kidney disease, he
was shocked and confused. “I was very
angry — I thought, ‘Where does my life
go from here?’” he said. “I thought I was
going to die. I was scared to death.”
For those with ESRD, it is necessary
to receive dialysis and/or a kidney
transplant in order to live. Lance
began dialysis right away when he was
diagnosed. Though it required him to
receive treatment for more than three
hours a day, three days per week, he
continued to work full-time at his job in
the printing industry. He wanted to stay
at his job because working full time was
all he had ever known.
“But after two years I reached a
breaking point where I couldn’t do it
anymore,” he said. “I couldn’t work — I
didn’t want to accept it, but I had to.”
Not having the stamina to continue
working, Lance qualified for federal
disability benefits and quit his job to
focus on his health. He was put on a
kidney transplant list in 2008. “They told
me the wait would be five to seven years,
but it gave me a glimmer of hope,” he
said. “I knew the whole time I was going
to go back to work.”
The lucky call for Lance came a little
after 11 p.m. one night in 2012 — his
turn on the list came up and he had a
one-hour window to arrive at the hospital
for a kidney transplant. He rushed down
there and had the operation, which was
a success.
After recovering from the kidney
transplant, Lance wanted to build
his stamina back up, so he spent time
working out at the gym. When he felt
he was fully recovered, he began to work
on finding employment. He came to
Jewish Family and Children’s Service of
Minneapolis (JFCS) through a referral.
At JFCS, Lance worked with Justin
Elvebak, an Employment Specialist in
the Vocational Rehabilitation program,
which provides personalized services
to individuals with disabilities who are
seeking to improve their work lives or
find employment.
Lance had not been employed for
several years, so Elvebak helped him
with building his résumé, working on
interview skills, and applying for job
openings in person and online. “He was
very employable,” Elvebak said. “He felt
he wanted to work full-time. I told him,
‘The employer who hires you is going to
be lucky.’”
In March, Lance was offered a job as
a mail machine operator with a media
printing company. The position met all
of his employment goals in respect to
compensation, location and a position
that was related to his employment
history.
In addition to working full-time,
Lance volunteers with the National
Kidney Foundation, advocating for
current patients undergoing dialysis
in Minnesota and New York. He also
counsels people who were recently
diagnosed with kidney disease. “I saw
people coming in younger and younger
that had the same look I did,” he said.
Thanks to his volunteering efforts, Lance
was asked to serve on the National
Kidney Foundation’s Board of Directors.
He feels fortunate to be in this
position and is grateful to JFCS for
providing essential services to find
full-time employment, allowing him
to contribute to the community in
a multitude of ways. “JFCS was a
tremendous help for me,” he said. “I was
very happy when I got my job — I feel
like I accomplished another goal.”
Landy: From page 1
she served in this role was a rewarding
experience for her.
“Robin is such a great role model for
our community,” said Howard Zack,
the current JFCS Board President. “She
has balanced family life, career and
volunteerism for many years. When
the opportunity came to lead JFCS as
President, Robin was there as a trusted
partner to the CEO and staff.”
Robin said she enjoys volunteering
with JFCS because so many people have
positive experiences with its programs
and services. “It’s such a wonderful
agency,” she said. “It’s rare these days
where you have an agency that incites
such positivity in the community.”
She especially praised the JFCS
NextGen program, which promotes
philanthropy and community
involvement among adults ages 21 to 36.
“It connects young people to the agency
and will serve us well into the future,”
she said.
Bryan said Robin always anticipates
the next Board meeting and volunteer
opportunity with enthusiasm
and enjoyment. “I know for Robin
and our family, our futures will always
include a role of volunteering and helping
at JFCS,” he said. directions • Spring 2014 3

2014
“Every year the needs of the community grow. The Give2014

Tankenoff family supports JFCS to effect
change and address ‘real, emotional needs’
S
cott and Hindy Tankenoff ’s guiding
philosophy when it comes to
philanthropy is to “leave the place
better than you found it,” referring to the
community as a whole.
The family has supported several
organizations in the Twin Cities for
a long time, but much of their focus
in recent years has been donating and
volunteering at Jewish Family and
Children’s Service of Minneapolis
(JFCS).
“Social service is not just about dollars
— it’s also about dignity,” Scott said.
“JFCS understands this and distributes
support in a broad sense. It addresses
real, flesh-and-blood, emotional needs.
It’s all about effecting change and helping
the most vulnerable in the community.”
They appreciate that JFCS does more
than just write checks for clients and
programs — its staff members have
backgrounds and expertise in the areas
being funded who bring a “social service
skill-set” to help clients beyond financial
stability, Scott said.
JFCS Chief Executive Officer Judy
Halper praised the Tankenoffs for their
long-time commitment to the agency.
“They care deeply about the future of
the Jewish and broader communities and
apply their time and their contributions
in ways that can make the greatest
impact,” she said. “They understand the
importance of investing in our children
so that our community remains strong,
vibrant, and healthy.”
Scott’s parents, Marsha and Gary —
who are also generous supporters of JFCS
— instilled in him the importance of
providing help for people facing financial
challenges. “The ability to help the most
vulnerable people has always been a
priority for my dad,” Scott said. “The
difference between success and not can be
razor thin.”
It is for this reason that Emergency
Financial Assistance for families
experiencing a financial crisis is one of
the areas he and Hindy focus their giving
to at JFCS. They also said the agency’s
Jewish Free Loan Program — which
provides interest-free loans to members
of the Jewish community who face
unexpected financial challenges — is a
wonderful asset to the community.
Another program area the Tankenoffs
support is JFCS’s Camp Scholarships.
They feel their children’s non-classroom
educational experiences have been very
important and want other children
in the community to have the same
opportunities.
Marsha and Gary are proud that Scott
and Hindy have carried on this tradition
of philanthropy. “Their commitment
sustains a strong, caring community that
cherishes compassion and values,”
they said.
In 2012, Scott and Hindy established
an Endowment fund at JFCS to support
hunger relief and hunger-related
programs. “Hunger is an issue that needs
a much brighter spotlight in the Twin
Cities,” Scott said.
Scott, who is a commercial real estate
developer, did a business favor for a
friend last year. In lieu of payment for
the gesture, Scott simply told his friend
to “take me to lunch one day.” It was at
that lunch that Scott’s friend told him
he would like to donate to a place of his
choosing — Scott chose JFCS and one
other organization.
“As soon as he said he wanted to
donate money, we were excited as a
family,” he said. “We felt great about the
money going to places in the community
we value.”
Like Scott, Hindy said she learned
the importance of giving back to the
community from her parents. It is she
and Scott’s hope that their own children,
Danny, Samantha and Mollie, carry on
this tradition.
PJ Library program to be highlighted at
JFCS’s Annual Meeting
Children through age 8 can receive a
free Jewish-themed book each month
through the PJ Library® program. It is
an international award-winning program
designed to strengthen Jewish identity.
The PJ Library is a program of JFCS
and is funded in part through the Louis
Herman Memorial Fund, a designated
fund of the Jewish Community
Foundation of the Minneapolis Jewish
Federation, and a grant from Harry and
Sandy Lerner.
Beth Grafman, Program
Officer at Harold
Grinspoon Foundation,
will present, “PJ Library
— Igniting Jewish
Connections,” at the
JFCS Annual Meeting
on Thursday, June 12, at Beth
Beth El Synagogue.
Grafman
Cassie and David Benowitz have a
2-year-old son, Leo, who is one of more than
800 children who receive books from
PJ Library each month.
How long have you received the
PJ Library books and why were you
interested in signing up for the
program?
Cassie: We started receiving them
shortly after Leo was born — a friend
signed us up, so the first book was
actually a great surprise. We immediately
loved the idea of incorporating Jewish
stories into our child’s book library.
Do you feel the books do a good job of
introducing your son to Jewish holidays
and traditions?
Absolutely. They introduce Jewish values
and explain holidays, like Tu B’Shevat,
that may otherwise pass without notice.
It’s a nice way to acknowledge Jewish
celebrations that we don’t generally
observe.
At the same time, it’s so great to
have new stories to incorporate into
our traditions for Shabbat, Chanukah,
The Benowitz Family
Passover and the High Holidays. It
broadens and deepens our understanding
of what’s behind the holidays we’ve
celebrated for years.
Would you recommend the program to
friends/family?
Without question. PJ Library is an
excellent reminder that we are part of
a community that cares deeply for its
children and is committed to growing
future generations of connected Jews.
Register today for these great opportunities!
Shalom Baby JFCS has gift bags for
new babies and their families
filled with fun items,
information on PJ Library
and local Jewish activities and
organizations, and
much more!
We are looking for families of newborns
to receive these bags, and volunteers to
distribute the bags and connect with
these families.
PJ Library Children through
age 8 can receive a
free Jewish-themed
book each month through PJ Library.
These books are a wonderful way for
families to read and learn about Jewish
themes and holidays. Families can sign up by visiting the
PJ Library website at www.pjlibrary.org.
PJ Library is on Facebook, too! Search for
“PJ Library-Minneapolis” and “like” us to
stay up-to-date with future activities.

JFCS and community benefit from
Kaufmans’ ongoing support
F
or a couple who celebrated their
70th wedding anniversary in 2013,
Al and Audrey Kaufman are still
going strong, enjoying life and helping
others.
Though they spend most of the winter
in a warmer climate, when in town they
exercise almost every day at the Sabes
Jewish Community Center’s Silver
Sneakers Program. Al is often a part
of the minyan at Beth El Synagogue
and they both attend Shabbat services
at Beth El every Saturday. Al also
continues to volunteer for the Veteran’s
Administration (VA) office, the
Lion’s Club and the Masonic Scottish
Rite organization.
Their activity includes philanthropy as
well — JFCS has benefitted from Al and
Audrey’s volunteering and generosity for
more than 20 years.
In 1992, through JFCS’s Resettlement
program, they became hosts for a family
who moved here from Russia. The father
had been a doctor there, but was unable
to practice in the U.S. He spoke English
well, but his wife did not. Al and Audrey
helped the couple enroll at Hennepin
Technical College, where the man
studied to become a health aide.
Audrey remembers visiting the family
at their apartment, where the couple and
their two sons would be busy studying.
Eventually, the father took a job in a
nursing home and the two sons were
also success stories, earning degrees and
moving to the East Coast.
“They were such nice people,” Audrey
said. “I really enjoyed knowing them and
I felt they appreciated my efforts to help
them at a stressful time in their lives.”
Around 1990, Al began volunteering
for what is now known as JFCS’s Deikel
Transportation Program, driving seniors
to doctor’s appointments, pharmacies and
other locations. He even coordinated the
program for a number of years.
Al and Audrey have also volunteered
for JFCS’s Hag Sameach program, which
provides gifts, food and ritual items to
families during Chanukah and Passover.
They’ve volunteered for other programs
at JFCS’s office too, helping with
mailings and other tasks. “We were there
whenever they needed us,” Audrey said.
“JFCS does such wonderful work. Every
aspect of it — programs for children,
seniors, financial help and with schools.”
The Kaufmans created an Endowment
fund at JFCS in 2009 that is used where
most needed. Over the years, they
have watched the agency expand its
programming to meet the growing needs
of the community. “We always knew
JFCS was there if you needed it,” Audrey
said. “Supporting the Jewish community
is very important to us.”
They have also set up an Endowment
with the Jewish Community Foundation,
which includes a Promise for the Future
gift for JFCS.
Success, along with the desire to give
back, describes the Kaufman family. Both
of their sons are doctors. Their daughter
retired as a captain in the Naval Reserve
after serving for 29 years, including
service in Operation Desert Storm. She
is now a practicing dietician. Al and
Audrey have eight grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren, whom they are very
proud of for continuing the tradition of
tikkun olam (repairing the world) in their
own ways.
Audrey, who was a dancer ever since
she was a child, danced with St. Louis
Park’s popular senior tap dancing troupe,
the Satin Dolls, for more than a decade.
She also spent several years volunteering
as a teacher’s aide at St. Louis Park
Schools.
She and Al attribute their volunteering
and community service activities to their
longevity. “You meet nice people, it gives
you purpose and you feel like you’re
accomplishing something,” Audrey said.
Pennie Shapiro, JFCS Development
Associate, said Al and Audrey are
treasures to JFCS and the community
at large.
“With great care, warmth, and
energy, they quietly and modestly make
a difference to people across a broad
spectrum of life,” she said. “They are
strong financial supporters of JFCS and
are generous with their time and energy
as well. From installing new batteries in
countless watches and sorting gifts for
Hag Sameach to helping people with
transportation needs and more, we are so
fortunate to have the Kaufmans’ support.”

Deikel Family AlterCare, an adult day
care, fit for kings and queens
By Linda Mankoff Romeo
T
aking care of parents is a loving
mitzvah, and I’m so happy that I
could help my parents enjoy their later
years. One of the best presents I gave
my parents was sending them to Deikel
Family AlterCare Adult Day Program, fit
for kings and queens.
In 2001, my dad’s doctor said that
dad had dementia and suggested that my
mother and I explore respite. I
wasn’t familiar with the term, but it
sounded scary and awful until I asked
what it meant.
Respite is when you give the family a
break from the daily routine of caregiving
for a loved one. This gives the family
members time to relax and revitalize.
As luck had it, I had recently read
an article in the “American Jewish
World” about AlterCare, located in
St. Louis Park. It was a program of
Jewish Family and Children’s Service of
Minneapolis (JFCS).
That day, I phoned the program
director and set up an appointment with
her, my dad and mother. When she bent
down to talk to my dad at eye level, I
knew this place was for him. My dad said
the people looked old. I told him that was
because he looked young.
Dad attended AlterCare for five years
while he lived at home with my mother.
When he moved to Sholom Home West,
I was relieved that he could continue to
attend AlterCare, where he was treated
like a king. When I would ask dad about
his day at AlterCare, he would smile and
say, “Wonderful!”
Years later, I needed this program for
my mother and my aunt, who both live
at Knollwood Place. They used to spend
much of their day just siting in the lobby.
Now, as AlterCare participants, they are
Linda Mankoff Romeo (far right) pictured at Deikel Family AlterCare with her
aunt, Polly Salloway (far left), and mother, Marlene Mankoff (center).
stimulated all day through a variety of
social and therapeutic activities.
In the morning, one of the AlterCare
staff picks up my mother in her
apartment lobby and they walk through
the indoor passage until they get to
AlterCare. No boots, no coats!
AlterCare is offered Monday through
Friday. It’s an alternative to long-term
care that offers occupational, music, art,
physical, speech, and pet therapies, in
addition to strength and balance training.
In the morning, the clients have toast
and juice and then read the highlights of
the newspaper. They socialize, sing songs,
make art projects, bake, play games,
exercise, eat a kosher lunch, and attend
holiday parties. Personal care, including
bathing, is also offered.
I would like to thank the dedicated,
caring and long-term staff at AlterCare
for all that they do. Thank you for
treating everyone so respectfully —
participants always have a fun and active
day at your facility.
I hope JFCS and the community will
continue to support AlterCare. It is a
wonderful option. It provides mental
stimulation and prevents isolation for
clients in a loving, safe and caring
environment. In addition, it gives the
caregiver a break from long difficult days
and the peace of mind that your loved
one is well taken care of. It is the best
present you can give.
Dementia consultant helps family manage
caregiving for loved one
R
ichard was suffering from mild
cognitive impairment. His wife,
Pam, and their two adult sons were
feeling overwhelmed in managing his
caregiving. They contacted JFCS, which
scheduled a consultation with the family.
With its Consultation Services, JFCS’s
professional staff facilitates meetings
for families who are concerned about a
loved one. The goal is to define the issue,
develop a plan, and identify resources to
achieve desirable results. At Richard’s
family consultation, staff provided many
dementia resources and recommended
they meet with Jayne Clairmont, JFCS’s
dementia consultant.
During a home visit, Clairmont
provided a warm and caring environment
for the family, where they were each
able to share their thoughts, feelings and
opinions. She recommended Richard
meet with his physician to evaluate
his medications and join a gym, where
he could get regular exercise. She also
discussed the benefits of essential oils, an
emerging area in helping with reducing
anxiety and stress.
Clairmont focused
on the importance
of communication
between family
members, and how
everyone needs to
feel valued in life.
The family
Jayne Clairmont
followed through
on her advice and
saw their situation improve immensely.
Pam now attends a monthly caregiver
support group, which provides her an
outlet to share her feelings. Richard
saw improvements in his health and
his family members began feeling less
overwhelmed by their situation. Pam
praised Clairmont as a capable and smart
woman who always looks out for the best
interest of those she is working with.
Clairmont’s services are available to
JFCS clients through its Assessment
Education & Behavior Management
(AEM) Service for people with
Alzheimer’s, dementia or other memory
loss. She helps guide you and your loved
one in making changes to improve
everyday home life.
Clairmont provides expert advice
through:
• In-Home Assessments
• A Comprehensive Report and
Care Plan
• Caregiver Education
• Behavior/Communication Analysis
and Training
To learn more about Family
Consultations and Alzheimer’s
Assessment Education and Behavior
Management, call JFCS at 952-546-0616.
The Alzheimer’s services are funded in
