Members of its board of governors,� resident family members, staff, elders and many state legislators including former Governor Richard Cody feted this year’s honoree, Leon Sokol, of Teaneck, New Jersey, for his long-term support and commitment to the mission of The Jewish Home Family, as well as his dedication and leadership within Bergen County’s Jewish community and in Israel.

The evening’s journal raised over $847,000 to help support programs and services for the enrichment of the lives of seniors in our community, both in The Jewish Home’s facilities and in their homes.

A short film entitled “Advancing the Art of Living” premiered at the event and can be viewed at JewishHomeFamily.org.
