IN MEMORY OF
The Jeff Center for Families is made possible, in part, by a generous contribution from Merry and Stephen (z”l) Astor, in memory of their son Jeff (z”l).
Jeff grew up in Northern California. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, he worked at Goldman Sachs in New York.
Jeff was a natural athlete and participated and excelled in many sports. He loved tennis, baseball, soccer, snow skiing and water-skiing, and had a tremendous amount of confidence and initiative, always challenging himself with new experiences and activities.
He had a great sense of humor and was quite social and popular, known for being an especially kind, caring and fun person to be around. Jeff kept in touch with his friends, was a good listener, problem solver and devoted friend. He was intellectually curious, loved learning about people and encouraging them to talk about themselves.
After spending a semester in college in Israel at the Hebrew University and participating in the Marva army program, Jeff developed a special love for Israel. When he died in a plane crash on July 22, 1991, Jeff was 24 years old.
The Astor family hopes that the Jeff Center for Families will be a place of warmth, caring and fun and that the Center will keep Jeff’s memory alive.
