“When I was 60 years old, I wrote a
memoir about my life before I had chil-
dren. I have 5 children. They didn’t think
I had a life before I was their mother.
Sometimes even I wondered.” Ilene
Beckerman thought of herself as just a
wife and mother, until she became much
more.
She is the author of five books two of
which were made into plays including the
off-Broadway hit “Love, Loss, and What
I Wore” by Nora and Delia Ephron. Ilene
has been on 5 national book tours, had a
segment on Oprah, and was a keynote
speaker at the Erma Bombeck semi-annu-
al writers’ convention.
If you think your life is boring and rou-
tine, or that now that your children are
grown, or you have retired from your
job, you have lost your identity, this
Women’s Day Celebration is a gift to
yourself. Jewish Family Service of Somer-
set, Hunterdon and Warren Counties
(JFS) a non-profit, non-sectarian social
service agency is bringing together
women of all ages shortly before we cele-
brate Mother’s Day for inspiration,
humor, and empowerment to be all that
we, as women, can be.
Keynote speaker, Ilene Beckerman,
knows there is a story in everyone. She
will help you find yours. “If someone had
told me all this would happen to me, I
would have told them to stop smoking
whatever they were smoking.” Now she
speaks to women’s groups and book clubs
all over the country. This is an opportuni-
ty to bring those women in your life that
you care about to a celebration of
women. The program will be followed by
a buffet luncheon
JFS believes Ilene has a message that all
women should hear. Sunday, April 30,
