Deserving Recognition

The Professional Advisory Committee (PAC) at the Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation (JJCF) at the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County recently honored Jerome “Jerry” L. Wolf for his outstanding service to the community at its annual Irving Eckhardt Mitzvah Society Celebration on Feb. 8.

PAC professionals and community members gathered for cocktails and dinner to honor Wolf for his work. In addition, there was an induction ceremony for new members into the Irving Mitzvah Society, which recognized estate planning professionals who have worked with their clients to establish planned gifts and endowments on behalf of the Jewish community.

  “I’m thrilled to honor my esteemed colleague and friend, Jerry Wolf, for his hard work and dedication to the Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation,” says event co-chair Brian Singer. “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside him for 35 years, and no one is more deserving.”

Wolf has served as Chair of the JJCF and its PAC and is a longtime member of the Irving Eckhardt Mitzvah Society. He is a member of the Florida and New York Bar Associations and has more than 40 years of experience as a trusts and estates lawyer, practicing in the areas of estate, tax, asset protection and business succession planning for high-net-worth families. He provides transfer and generation-skipping tax strategies and advises closely held corporations, partnerships and other business entities on succession and asset protection planning structures.

Singer and Tim Wolf co-chaired this year’s event, and The Boca Raton Observer was the event’s exclusive media sponsor.
