This is our 36th year serving the community and represents the double chai year. Chai means “life” in Hebrew and also representing the number 18. So 36 has special significance for us. Our longstand- ing mission has been “to preserve and strength- en the quality of individual, family and commu- nity life based on Jewish values.” We print on our literature the following saying from Mai- monides, a famous Jewish rabbi and scholar, “Take hold of him that he fall not and come to need.” This is the operating principle behind much of what we have done and will continue to do at JFS. Our services are intended to offer support to those in need in order to help them through a difficult life experience and help them to go on to a more productive and satis- fying life. Since 1980 when we first opened our doors JFS has been doing just that by providing Counseling Services to over 3,000 individu- als and families struggling with the stressors of everyday life. Our Career Services Program established about a dozen years ago has helped over 1,000 individuals looking to improve their job situation. In the mid 90’s through the early part of this new century we helped to resettle about 70 families from the former Soviet Union and a few families from Kosovo. Our Family Mentoring program, in ten years, has provided 300 families with young children and frail home bound seniors strug- gling with feelings of isolation volunteers to offer support and companionship. We have also been assisting about 50 Holocaust sur- vivors over the past 20 years with home care aides and social work support as well as a monthly socialization group, Café Europa, a place for survivors to meet and enjoy some time together. In the past 7 years we’ve estab- lished a Special Needs program and have provided support programs for approximately 60 families in that time. In the past 5 years we provided approximately $193,000 in scholar- ships to individuals and families to receive our services and in the past year we offered 1,745 hours of volunteer time assisting those in need of support and companionship within our community. There are many more people we have helped in different ways these past 36 years and in fact we serve over 2,000 people each year through at least one of our programs or services. Continuing in 2016 we are offering mental health counseling at our Betty and Arthur Roswell Family Counseling Center, Career Services and a monthly Job Seeker’s Support Group both in Somerset and Hun- terdon Counties, Senior Services, providing in-home supportive counseling and case man- agement to frail homebound seniors and their caregivers supported by the Susan and Steve Darien Family Fund, Family Mentoring for families at risk and for isolated seniors with support from the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and the County of Somerset, Volunteer Services through our Good Deeds Corps which offers volunteer assistance to frail home bound seniors to support their remaining in the dignity of their own home, Special Needs Support Programs including social skills groups for teens and activity groups for young adults supported by the Nancy L. and Arthur E. Lee Family Fund for Special Needs, Holocaust Survivor Assistance Program providing home care and other supports to frail survivors with sup- port from the Conference on Jewish Mate- rial Claims Against Germany, Ohr Tikvah, a community chaplain led program offering cultural connection to those isolated in our community and the Emergency Assistance andHebrew Free Loan program for those struggling financial. We thank our many friends and donors in the community who provide the financial support that is needed to be able to help as many people as we do each year. Recently a community member told me “If JFS wasn’t here, if it didn’t exist, it would be very scary to deal with these problems alone.” No one should feel alone in their time of need.
