BOCA RATON — The promise of a fun-filled “journey” to the classic tropical elegance
of mid-century Havana was fully delivered at the Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service
Annual Gala and Auction in December,
Nearly 250 guests at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton enjoyed a sumptuous
cocktail reception, dinner and silent and live auctions of luxury items including jewelry
and vacation packages. The dance floor pulsated for hours to the lively sounds of Soul
Survivor.
Larry Phillips received the Ruth and Norman Rales Humanitarian of the Year Award in a
moving presentation at the event.
And, amid the festivities of a night to remember, the event chaired by Lisa Goodman and
Vicki Weinstein raised a net $300,000 to support essential JFS programs and services.
Since 1979, Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS) has been providing help, hope and
humanity in South Palm Beach County, through a comprehensive range of programs
and services that support people of all ages and beliefs. For more information, visit
