“Principles to guide one’s life should be shared between generations,” said Dobbs Goldstein. “My mother has passed down to each of her children, and in fact to so many others in the community, a commitment to volunteerism and to the importance of sustaining the Jewish community. We’re proud that Israel Bonds has recognized her years of caring efforts.”

As part of the National Women’s Division Jerusalem 3000 delegation earlier this month, Dobbs was honored, along with 20 other Jewish women leaders from across North America, at a reception in Jerusalem.

Dobbs, who describes herself as a “professional volunteer,” credits her late husband, Harold, and her sister Pearl, with being her role models.

Cost of the event is $45. Attendance also requires a 1996 purchase of an Israel Bond or two certificates. Reservations: (415) 781-3213.
