 Ann and Stephen Kaufman, longtime leaders in the Houston community, have been honored with the renaming of the annual Jewish Book & Arts Fair as "The Ann and Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Fair."

Stephen Kaufman, a Managing Director with Fulcrum Partners LLC, one of the nation's leading and largest executive benefits consultancies, says, "Ann and I have known for many years that we wanted to help ensure the continuance of the Jewish Book & Arts Fair as part of supporting the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston. The J, as the Center is known, serves an extremely important purpose in this community."

ERJCC President Bobbi Samuels adds, "The Kaufmans have demonstrated their leadership in the community by setting an example of generous philanthropy that will really make a difference. Their gift ensures that our Book & Arts Fair will continue to be a major event in our city and one of the best in the nation."

The Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center of Houston officially opened its doors on November 2, to the newly named Ann and Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Fair, a literary and cultural event featuring 27 authors, two concerts and six films. Recognized as one of the largest Jewish book fairs in the U.S., the event runs through November 18, 2013.
