CJP is proud to honor Bob Haber, Dan Jick, and Seth Klarman for their longstanding leadership and stewardship of CJP’s philanthropic capital through the Beth Israel Lahey Health/CJP Board of Managers and the CJP Investment Committee.

The Board of Managers oversees the Jewish Community Endowment Pool, LLP (JCEP), in which CJP and 84 other community organizations invest their long-term philanthropic capital. The CJP Investment Committee provides strategic oversight for CJP’s Donor Advised Fund program, helping ensure that resources entrusted to us by more than 800 families and individuals are prudently stewarded to support their philanthropic priorities in Greater Boston and beyond. Together, and individually, Bob, Dan, and Seth have provided remarkable vision and steady guidance for the past three decades, which have represented a tremendous period of change, growth and challenge for the enterprise of managing philanthropic capital of CJP. During their tenure, the capital overseen by CJP has grown from less than $200 million to $3.3 billion. Over the years, Bob, Dan, and Seth have created a culture of volunteer leadership that combines seriousness of purpose, collegial respect, clarity of vision, and above all else, deep integrity. In turn, this has allowed CJP to strengthen and support Jewish life now — and for generations to come. We are profoundly grateful for their service, and their shared dedication to a values-driven community of purpose and meaning.

For nearly 30 years, most of it as Vice Chair of the Board of Managers, Seth Klarman has provided extraordinary vision and commitment to mission, helping to create and sustain a consistent and distinctive investment approach. As a leader, Seth has supported a committee culture that welcomes thoughtful dialogue in service of the community. By modeling the role of an expert volunteer — asking hard questions and pushing for intellectual honesty — Seth has helped elevate the Board of Managers and CJP as trusted conveners and stewards of a strong Jewish future.
