Even in retirement, Harry Graber, former executive vice president of United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, continues to be an active and beloved presence in the community. His dedication has never wavered, and he remains committed to sharing his time, talents, and energy in ways that enrich the lives of others.
From leading discussions with the Yiddish Club to volunteering his expertise as a docent at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Graber finds meaningful ways to stay engaged and connected. His passion for learning and teaching is evident, and those who spend time with him walk away inspired and uplifted.
On Wednesday, August 20, members of the JCC Seniors Club enjoyed a special treat when Graber guided them through the Chrysler Museum. With warmth, humor, and knowledge, he brought the art and history to life, making the visit a memorable experience for all who attended.
Graber’s story reminds that community bonds do not end with retirement or titles – they continue to grow and strengthen through shared experiences. “We are never far from one another, especially when we have leaders like Harry who keep giving, teaching, and showing up for our community,” says Patsi Walton, Seniors Club president.
