NIKOLE KALAFER MEMORIAL FUND
An endowment fund has been established in memory of Nikole Kalafer to provide
scholarships for FJCC students, ages 15 through 22, who wish to participate in an
organized, educational program in Israel. To qualify, students must fulfill the following
requirements for a minimum of three years after their B’Nai/B’Not Mitzvah: 1) attend at
least one Friday night and/or Saturday morning service a month (September-June); 2)
attend a minimum of 80% of all Hebrew High School classes; 3) complete their Bar/Bat
Mitzvah projects as approved by Karen Walsh within a year of their B’nai/B’not Mitzvah.
Upon return from Israel, the recipients must send a note of thanks to the Kalafers and
must make a presentation about their trip to the congregation at a Friday night service.
Finally, the families of the recipients must be members in good standing. While the
synagogue is willing to consider a wide range of different organized programs, all must
be approved by the Rabbi and Endowment Committee before a scholarship will be
awarded. The amount of the scholarship may vary, but at present it stands at $1,000.
All scholarships must be used within six months, or the money returned to the FJCC.
