Honoring the Legacy of Ronald R. Glancz

Ronald R. Glancz (Z"L) was a giant in the region’s Jewish, legal, and civil rights communities. His accomplishments, passion, advocacy, and deep and firm ethical compass were deeply appreciated and well recognized in his lifetime. He was also a founding Board member of Tzedek DC.

To honor Ron’s memory and continue his legacy of helping the community, a group of his family and friends launched the Glancz Legacy Fund, which works to sustain Tzedek DC’s work to provide services and advocacy for residents of DC facing debt crises by supporting two programs:

• The Ronald Glancz Avodah Jewish Service Corps Fellowship program, which each year brings a recent tikkun olam-minded college graduate to work at Tzedek DC.

• The Disabilities Community Project, which was launched in 2020, provides tailored services and advocacy for people with disabilities, who represent more than 20% of Tzedek DC's clients.

Family members and community leaders, including Margie Glancz, Allyson Baker, Vivian Bass, David Farber, Ron Halber, and Mark Kahan, along with Tzedek DC founder Ariel Levinson-Waldman, lead the effort to create the Glancz Legacy Fund.
