Testimonials

“Greenwood House is grateful for the generosity of the Federation which supports our Jewish Holiday programming.”

– Neil Wise, Development Director, Greenwood House

“Thanks to the Federation’s support, we are able to provide 30 local, Jewish older adults with a special comfort found in a traditional Shabbat meal. Particularly during the pandemic, maintaining traditions, such as enjoying a regular Shabbat dinner, bring an extra sense of stability to those we serve.”

-Michelle Napell, Executive Director, Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (JFCS)

“I have been attending the Israeli Fair for many years as a camper and now, as a staff member, I love experiencing it through my campers’ eyes. It’s just magical.”
