Our Co-Executive Director, Jill Hammel, and Director of the Rhona Fischer Family Assistance Program, Meri Seligman, were honored to attend this morning's inspiring program at the Katz JCC Festival of Arts, Books & Culture.

Longtime JFCS supporter Betsy Frischman Fischer shared the story behind her powerful book, "Even After Everything: How One Humble Kibbutznik Believed in Heaven While Living Through Hell". The book chronicles the extraordinary journey of Gadi Yarkoni, who survived a Hamas mortar attack that cost him both legs and went on to become one of Israel's most respected leaders.

Through resilience, courage, and an unwavering commitment to his community, Yarkoni's story serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring strength of the Israeli spirit.

Wow - this week's JFCS Staff Retreat, held at Temple Beth Sholom, Cherry Hill, was truly one for the books! From delicious breakfast and lunch catered by Soups & Sweets to icebreakers, hands-on workshops and a surprise boot-scootin’ line dancing finale with ZZ DANCE, the day was filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and connection. Staff had the opportunity to explore everything from baking scones and homemade butter to yoga, terrarium-making, henna, resilience, and Jewish values.

Special thanks to longtime supporter and lay leader Peter Fischer, who joined us for an inspiring conversation about what first drew him to JFCS and why he and his wife, Betsy, remain so deeply committed to our mission. His heartfelt words were a powerful reminder of the community-wide impact of our work. We're also grateful to Advisory Council Chair Rhona Cohen for moderating the discussion.

Most importantly, the retreat gave us time to connect with one another, recharge, and celebrate the incredible team that makes JFCS such a special place.

Kudos to our amazing Retreat Committee for bringing this memorable day to life: Meri Seligman, Carly Schaffer, Sydney Breslow, Maureen Briggs, Lisa Freedman Enda, Kelly Giuliano, Miranda Mason, Ellen Masters, Deena Neuwirth, Hilary Platt, and Tony Saura!

Thanks to the generosity of Leslie and Adam Greenspan and their children, staff from our Rhona Fischer Family Assistance Program recently embarked on a special shopping trip to Kohl's that resulted in 157 new winter coats for JFCS clients of all ages. This incredible initiative will help keep local children, adults, and families warm throughout the winter, with additional funds going toward warm winter socks.

We are deeply grateful to community members like the Greenspan family, who make giving back a priority and help provide warmth, comfort, and dignity to those who need it most!
