Throughout his prestigious career, he served as Chief of Rheumatology at Holy Name Medical Center and at Hackensack University Medical Center. He is a leading clinical researcher and a noted expert in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and osteoporosis.<\/p>\n<p>In 1985, while their children were young, the Marcuses made aliyah from Teaneck, New Jersey; a few years later, the family returned to the States so that Judy, an only child, could care for her aging parents. In 2015, once the five Marcus children were mostly grown, the family made aliyah a second time. It is their aliyah experiences that are behind the family\u2019s support of OU Israel and its programs, most notably, NCSY Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we came to Israel in 1985, things were very hard for American olim, especially for the children of olim,\u201d explains Dr. Marcus. \u201cThey did not feel like they fit in anywhere, and some kids went off the derech as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, if there is one issue that animates the Marcuses\u2019 giving, it is this\u2014helping teenage olim integrate successfully. \u201cNCSY Israel is the only organization that provides for observant American teen olim, giving them opportunities for religious growth, socializing and leadership skills that are so critical,\u201d says Dr. Marcus. \u201cKids who come to Israel must get the spiritual and social support they need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Dr. Marcus, who lives with his wife in Jerusalem, continues to practice medicine at the Wolfson Medical Center in Jerusalem as well as at a local kupat cholim. He also commutes to the States on a regular basis to see patients in his Teaneck office.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the Marcuses\u2019 sons, Eytan and Akiva, who are physicians as well, live in Boca Raton, Florida. Their daughter, Eliana Marcus Aaron, who holds a doctorate degree in nursing, moved to Israel in 2002, where she established Ema Care, an organization that helps Americans navigate the Israeli medical system. Their son Yigal, who moved to Israel in 2015, serves as Vice President of Bernstein Global Wealth Management. Their younger daughter, Ariella Agatstein, who holds a doctorate in Jewish education and administration, moved to Israel shortly after the family\u2019s second aliyah and has served as a Torah lecturer and as a member of the faculty of Matan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cNCSY Israel is the only organization that provides for observant American teen olim.\u201d \u2014Dr. Ralph Marcus<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The strong convictions of the Marcuses are evident in their actions, not only in their words. They have been ardent supporters of NCSY Israel, especially during its recent \u201cGiving Days,\u201d when the organization surpassed its goals and raised over $57,000.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting the OU is a family affair. Yigal Marcus is the Board Chair of NCSY Israel, and his daughter Yael, a high school senior, is the Israel representative on the NCSY National Board. Judy herself enjoys the programming offered by the OU Israel Center, based in Jerusalem. \u201cWe find the inspiring OU shiurim, even on Zoom during this pandemic, to be superb, as were the OU tours before the present restrictions,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd would Shabbos be complete without a copy of Torah Tidbits?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of a long history of supporting organizations that assist American olim, the Marcus family also helped found Raishit Geula, the first religious group-aliyah organization of its kind that aimed to create communities for religious American olim. Dr. Marcus worked to create the city of Efrat with Rabbi Shlomo Riskin and Moshe Moskovits, the city\u2019s first mayor. \u201cWith their passion for Zionism and religious growth, the members of the Marcus family serve as true role models,\u201d says Gaby Novick, Director of Regional Development, NCSY Israel. \u201cMost impressively, they give to the causes that matter to them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engaging Teens in Civic Activism With a $12,500 grant from the Hertog Foundation, Teach Florida\u2019s Advocates of Tomorrow Fellowship, a project of PC20, trained twenty college students in community organizing and voter outreach.
