The Café Europa Program for Holocaust Survivors was also livestreamed for the other participants and their caregivers to enjoy in their homes.

This program featured the engaging musical entertainment of JFS Board Member Seth Huttel of Springfield. (Huttel is pictured with his guitar.) Rabbi Stephanie Dickstein, chaplain from the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ, attended the event.

JFSCNJ thanked its generous grant funders, the Wilf Family Foundations and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. “Funds from the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest NJ allow us to utilize the technology to provide a hybrid Café Europa program to all of the survivors in our community,” JFSCNJ said.
