Loring<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Lorings, longtime residents of Palm Beach County currently living in West Palm Beach, have long been a vibrant, notable and active presence in the Jewish community.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur served two terms as Federation\u2019s Board Chair, from 2008 to 2010, and 2014 to 2015. He has also served in other notable positions at Federation and in the community, including serving as the current President of MorseLife Foundation and Past President MorseLife, and past Chair of AIPAC in Palm Beach County. In 2015, Arthur was also the first community leader to receive the prestigious Jeanne Levy Community Leadership Award, Federation\u2019s highest honor that annually recognizes individuals in the Palm Beaches who exemplify a spirit of giving, inspire Jewish values and demonstrate outstanding leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur grew up in the town of Williamsburg, Virginia, home to a small Jewish community. His parents became leaders, and Arthur had the city\u2019s first Bar Mitzvah in The Wren Chapel at The College of William and Mary. It was then his parents decided Williamsburg needed a synagogue, and they served as the catalysts to bring that vision to reality. During his professional career, Arthur spent 25 years at Fidelity Management &amp; Research Company, the umbrella entity for various mutual funds and investment\/financial services, where he rose through the ranks to become one of its top executives.<\/p>\n<p>From their early days of involvement in the Jewish community, Vicki\u2019s passion for supporting seniors has been evident. Vicki started a Thanksgiving luncheon for isolated seniors in the Palm Beaches\u2019 Jewish community, a program that became so successful it expanded to include luncheons for Hanukkah and Purim, with our local Federation providing transportation for homebound guests to attend. She also started the MorseLife breakfast and lunch program, which included meal deliveries to seniors throughout the community. Vicki is a Lion of Judah, a giving and recognition program through Federations across North America, representing the most dynamic philanthropic Jewish women in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In their honor, Federation announced the cutting-edge Vicki &amp; Arthur S.
