About Annette Paletz

Annette had a passion for Israel and was the first person from Minnesota to participate in the semester-long journey to Israel as part of the Alexander Muss High School Israel program back in 1976 when she was 17 years old. Knowing that this experience had a profound effect on Annette’s life, it was only fitting to create a scholarship fund in Annette’s memory that will assist Minnesota Jewish teens experience life and learning in Israel.

The fund is available to receive tax-deductible tributes and contributions through the Jewish Community Foundation. If you’d like to make a tax-deductible gift to the Annette Paletz Fund, you can send a check to the Minnesota Jewish Community Foundation, Minneapolis Jewish Federation, 4330 Cedar Lake Road Minneapolis, MN 55416.
