Debbie Rosenwein, LCSW, JFSCNJ Director of Holocaust Services, introduced the history of the Holocaust Survivor Day celebration dating back to 2020, as an initiative to “host events, large and small, to ensure that our survivors feel loved, cared for and greatly appreciated.”
The Holocaust Survivors from JFS of Central New Jersey and JFS of MetroWest New Jersey were entertained by magician/mentalist Jason Silberman. Congregation Israel of Springfield members Ben and Atara Hoffer, Hilana and Moshe Agress joined the festivities along with volunteers and staff of JFS MetroWest.
JFS of Central New Jersey is grateful to Congregation Israel of Springfield for hosting the event and appreciates the funding received from the Wilf Family Foundations and the Holocaust Fund of the Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey.
