Herb Lask comes from a family of volunteers and says it is in his bloodline.   Herb recalls his mother saying  "It is important to give money, but more important to give of yourself'. 

Herb is a retired pattern maker of children's clothing and volunteers at his synagogue in Bellmore, Long Island.  His Rabbi suggested contacting UJA-Federation Engage Service Corps because he expressed a desire to get more involved and give back to the community.

For the past year and a half Herb has been volunteering in the Traumatic Brain Injury group at The Marion and Aaron Gural JCC.  He says he gets satisfaction out of making people comfortable and the clients appreciate what he does. Herb likes be able to greet the clients, schmooze with them,  and make them feel valued and heard.  He says they all come here with their own set of problems and he never speaks negatively with them." I try and put a positive spin on everything and I am very glad I can help."  Herb is a loving and caring volunteer and we are happy to have him make this program such a success.

Thank you Herb for all that you do!
