Why I Give
Bruce Gould has long been our most generous graduate. Many years ago he created our first endowed chair and established the prestigious Bruce K. Gould Book Award. Together with his family he has named the Law School library. Bruce Gould sits on our Board of Governors and our Foundation Board. He has hosted numerous events, including a recent event at his home in Florida. He was a member of our first “Builders” Class given at our “Liberty and Justice for All” Dinner, and was our first honoree at the Susan Dietrich Clyne Memorial Golf Outing.
For the past 30 years, Touro has been a huge part of my life and my heart. I support Touro Law Center because it brings together my two most important charitable endeavors: education and the preservation of the Jewish laws, Judaism and heritage here in the United States and in Israel.
I believe Touro Law has set itself apart by combining the traditional requirements of a law school education with the ancient principals of legal and societal teachings of the old testament. This I believe is the foundation of modern juris prudence. Touro Law has taken legal education to the next level by combining practical knowledge with a hands-on approach to teaching the law. The school’s commitment to academic excellence, social justice and community service represent the ideals that make it the law school for the 21st Century.
