The Foundation for Jewish Philanthropies might be a Western New York foundation, but it's made some roots in Longboat Key. A donor luncheon hosted by Nate Benderson and Anne M. Virag catered to a group of individuals originally from Buffalo living permanently or for the season in Sarasota on Jan. 31 at Sarasota Yacht Club. The newly appointed Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Buffalo Michael Wise spoke about the future of Jewish Buffalo. The Foundation will be celebrating its centennial this year.
