Watch this short video which highlights the Gateways programs and why the Rudermans care so deeply for its mission.
Gateways honored its major benefactors, the Ruderman Family, at its annual fall event, Sweet Sounds: An Afternoon of Jazz & Chocolate. Mort and Marcia Ruderman, together with their children Jay and Shira, Sharon and Rony, and Todd and Liz, and Ruderman Family Foundation.. The Ruderman Family Foundation,devote much of their philanthropy to Jewish education, especially for children with special needs, in Jewish day schools and supplemental settings. Their belief that Every Jewish Child Deserves a Jewish Education has helped Gateways to grow and thrive and we were pleased to create this well-deserved recognition for them.
