Last week, Sid Jacobson JCC has announced the building’s library was named and dedicated in honor of the Rosenthal Family in recognition of their commitment and contributions to the agency and surrounding community.
Bob Rosenthal served as president of the board from 1988 – 1990.
Jodi Rosenthal served in the same position from 2017 – 2020.
Both Rosenthals remain active members of the JCC, with Jodi serving as a co-chair of the Cultural Arts Committee (which includes, among other programs, the “Jodi & Robert Rosenthal Author Breakfast + Book Signing Series”).
Most recently, she was honored at SJJCC’s 2022 Friendship Circle Luncheon, A Yellow Rose Event.
“It gives us great pleasure to have our names on the library of Sid Jacobson JCC, a place we both hold so dear to our hearts,” said Jodi and Bob Rosenthal. “We have dedicated so much time and energy into making this JCC the best it can be for more than 40 years and we are so proud to have been a part of it for so long. The work was obviously not ours alone. There have been so many dedicated staff, board members, volunteers, and families who have made Sid Jacobson JCC the very best among the very best. We look forward to many more years of involvement and participation with our names now adorning the wonderful library at a place we both love so much.”
“The Rosenthal family is synonymous with wisdom, leadership, and generosity. We are profoundly grateful that they have helped steer this ship for decades,” said David Black, JCC executive director. “Rededicating this room in their honor is a testament to their continued commitment to our mission and the lasting impact their contribution will have on our community.”
The Rosenthal Family Library currently features works of art by Alan Sloyer and serves as a versatile program, activity, and meeting space for community members to gather, learn, interact, build connections, and more.
