(Courtesy of JFS MetroWest) Jewish Family Service of MetroWest NJ held its annual gala, “An Evening of Broadway, Hope, & Laughter,” virtually this year. At the May 11 event, JFS honored Eta and Mark Levenson and the Eric Eliezer Levenson Foundation for Hope for their dedication and support of JFS MetroWest NJ and the Greater MetroWest community.

Over 800 community members attended the virtual event and 130 people celebrated at the live Zoom after-party. They raised money to support JFS Mental Health and Rachel Coalition Counseling Services and enjoyed the incredibly talented performers from “Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish.”

The Levenson family has been dedicated to JFS MetroWest, volunteering their time, knowledge and support to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. The Eric Eliezer Levenson Foundation for Hope, which the Levensons formed in memory of their son, Eric, provides annual support to create programs that increase mental health awareness.

Eta and Mark have worked tirelessly to secure funding that enables JFS to train its staff, local mental health providers and the community through educational programs that address anxiety, depression and suicide prevention. Eta Levenson is a JFS executive board member, and together, she and Mark serve on many community and national boards.
