Kolodney is a founding member and chairperson of the Bronx Council of United Jewish Appeal Federation agencies and a founding member and officer of the Neighborhood Initiatives Development Corp. This weekend we honor Mr. Kolodney for his current efforts to raise funds through Bronx House to support the postelementary education of Jewish children in Yeshivas and Hebrew schools throughout the Bronx. Very recently. hundreds of Russian Jewish immigrant families have settled in our Pelham Parkway community. Recognizing the importance of Jewish education in preserving their cultural and religious heritage. these families want very much to enable their children to receive Jewish educations. However. this education is very expensive and few families can afford it. making scholarship assistance essential if this proud tradition is to continue.
