For Jacob Seligmann, to help his girls Naomi and Arielle

Jake Seligmann was an amazing, loving, generous person, with a life complicated by severe bipolar disorder. He touched and shaped so many people’s lives in positive ways.

We have been moved by the number of friends who have expressed a desire to help Jake’s daughters, Naomi (age 20) and Arielle (age 17), during this painful and critical time. Their mother is not in the picture. Their current living situation is unstable. Their formal education is far from complete.

In Jewish tradition, it is customary to perform an act of tzedakah, charitable giving, in the name of the deceased. Support for his daughters is the most poignant and powerful form of tzedakah one can make in Jake’s name at this time.

All donated funds will go to the girls for:

We are extremely grateful to all who are able to help. May his memory be a blessing, and may your generosity bless his memory.
