Dear Florida Region FJMC Friends and Family,
Our incoming 2025-2027 Regional President, Jonathan Zimmer, has been chosen by our Florida Region of the International Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs to receive the prestigious 2025 Ma’asim Tovim (Doer of Good Deeds) Award.
This honor will be bestowed on Jon by the Florida Region during the FJMC Biennial Convention in Chicago, IL which will be held from July 3rd through July 6th, 2025. This honor is the highest and most cherished that any Region of the FJMC can bestow upon one of its members. The honor recognizes the significant accomplishments the honoree has made to his Club, his Region, his Synagogue, and the Jewish Community. Jon joins a small, but growing fraternity of dedicated volunteers whose efforts and actions have helped to improve our Jewish lives and the world we live in.
Jon’s biography (see link below), along with a summary of his accomplishments, will be published in the 2025 FJMC Convention Tribute Journal. This Journal is the vehicle that we use to pay tribute to Jon and the many other volunteers within the International Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs.
We encourage you to pay tribute to Jon by purchasing an Ad in the 2025 FJMC Convention Ad Journal in Jon’s honor. Tribute price categories range from $36 for a Supporter Listing up to $2,500 for a Platinum Page Sponsor. Revenue from this Journal helps the FJMC to continue to fund new initiatives and provide essential services to our member Clubs.
Please use the link below to review all the Tribute categories for the Journal. This link will allow you to purchase your ads from the FJMC Florida Region. Tributes must be placed by Monday, May 26, 2025 to ensure inclusion in the Convention Journal.
Please join me in wishing Jon a hardy Yasher Koach and Mazel Tov!
In Brotherhood,
Blake Lenett
Past President Florida Region FJMC
Jon Zimmer was born in Huntington Station, Long Island, NY and lived there until he was 14, after his parents got sick of the weather, high taxes, and congestion of living in New York and wisely moved to sunny Sarasota, Florida. After graduating college at the University of Florida (Go Gators!), Jon moved to Tampa and has been there for 26 years. He has been an active member of Congregation Kol Ami (Tampa) for over 20 years and served as Security Chair before becoming active in Brotherhood, thanks to Barry Dvorchik (z’l) and his mentorship. He’s implemented several annual traditions of successful programming such as Firearm Safety Day, Cigars and Spirits Night, Hearing Men’s Voices sessions, and more. Jon’s greatest accomplishment is being a father to Alissa, his 10 year old daughter. He’s a Business Development Manager for a chemical company in their healthcare division. His hobbies include spending time outdoors, traveling around the country, watching the Gators, enjoying a good stout, pale ale or scotch, and spending time with Alissa.
