Thanks also to our friends at Mikva Challenge and to the thousands of students, educators, staff and supporters who have made the program flourish. It is so appropriate that this organization bearing our parents’ name is helping to inspire the next generation to public service and leadership.
We share your gratitude for our father’s amazing life and legacy. We wish that we could thank all of you personally for your kindness.
Mary, Laurie, and Rachel Mikva
