Your gift to the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center goes toward supporting grieving families, individuals, and communities so that no one has to grieve alone. Donors may choose to have their gift go wherever it is most needed, or toward a particular fund they wish to support.

Supporting the Healing Center

Grace Brown Fund

The Grace Brown Fund is for doing what matters in life. These funds will be used where most needed to support the spiritual work of the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center. This fund was established by Dr. Bonnie Bernell and her partner Gary Embler. “Creating this Fund is profoundly meaningful to me. We have been more than fortunate in this life. Grace Brown was the woman who loved me and taught me what matters in life. She died in 1973. I miss her.”
