25th Anniversary of B’nai B’rith Federation House – December 11, 2017
The JCHC celebrated the 25th anniversary of high-quality senior living at South Orange B’nai B’rith Federation House (SOBBFH), with a beautiful event held on Dec. 11 at South Orange Performing Arts Center. There were remarks by local dignitaries (Patricia Sebold, a member of the Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders and Sheena Collum, president of South Orange Village), Evan Carmen from B’nai B’rith International and Heather Critelli from LeadingAge NJ. Attendees also heard from long-time resident Lavinia Walker, president of the tenant association at SOBBFH, who shared the importance of senior housing and what SOBBFH has meant to her in her retirement years. The event also served to highlight the importance of HUD-subsidized affordable housing (SOBBFH and Jewish Federation Plaza offer affordable housing options for those who qualify). After the speeches, our residents and staff enjoyed a lovely private dinner to mark the special occasion. It was a great night!

JCHC Annual Dinner – June 20, 2016
What a wonderful time we all had at the JCHC Annual Board Meeting and Dinner, held at Crystal Plaza in Livingston on June 20. A beautiful touch to the evening were the floral arrangements that adorned the tables, made by our residents at the Lester Senior Housing Community. They got together the day before, and under the guidance of Megan Fainsinger from ARTS By the People, created 14 beautiful floral arrangements for the tables. Each centerpiece featured photos of the residents from all four JCHC communities. After the event, the floral arrangements were given to each community to enjoy. Committee chair and board member Roberta Zweifler expressed her gratitude for the residents that helped make the night a success.


What a great night!
