(Courtesy of JFSMWNJ) On April 8, Jewish Family Service of MetroWest New Jersey hosted 30 Holocaust survivors and second-generation caregivers for the JFS Café Europa Passover Model Seder. The model Seder was led by Rabbi Mendel Solomon of Chabad of Short Hills, and was held at Oheb Shalom Congregation in South Orange.

It was an afternoon of tradition, connection and remembrance. Among those in attendance was Max Kleinman of West Orange, who will be celebrating his 103rd birthday—a true testament to resilience and life.
