Jason Rosenthal Donates Toys and Games to JFS
Jason Rosenthal, a recent Bar Mitzvah from Kehilat Shalom, delivered games and other toys that he collected as part of his Mitzvah project to JFS of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties. The toys and games will be given to families in need due to unemployment or other economic difficulties.

Generous Donations Lead to Establishment of New Funds
JFS is pleased to announce the establishment of two new funds that will support the work of the agency. As a result of a generous donation in the fall by Nancy L. and Arthur E. Lee, JFS has created The Nancy L. and Arthur E. Lee Special Needs Family Fund. This fund will support Special Needs programs and services offered at JFS.
JFS also received a generous donation from Betty and Arthur Roswell to support the Mental Health Counseling Program. The program is being renamed in their honor and will be known as The Betty and Arthur Roswell Family Counseling Center. This donation will assist JFS to continue meeting the mental health needs of those in our community despite losses in funding from Somerset County United Way.
We are fortunate to have such generous and committed families in our community. The Roswell’s and Lee’s have been long time supporters of JFS and their contributions will go a long way in helping to ensure that these two programs will be here when people need them.
To contribute to either of these two funds or to get involved in other ways please call 908 725-7799 or e-mail jstarr@JewishFamilySvc.org.
