Night of 100 Dinners

The Jewish Family Services has held the Night of 100 Dinners every year for the past nine years, staying true to their primary focus and commitment of feeding the hungry. As Ilene S. Gelman, JFS board president, explained for the Bergen News "One of our central missions is to fee our neighbors who are hungry, and one of the primary focuses of this even is to continue doing so."

Guests from all over come to support JFS in their mission, meeting up at Englewood Hospital for a Cocktail Event and then given a specific home to have dinner along with other selected guests for that particular home.

JFS invited Dr. Lena and Dr. Mircea to show their appreciation for the amazing work that they have done for a few of the very special people they work with. You may have seen a previous post about the fabulous job the doctors did with Susan Berlinrood, a Hackensack resident, who came to us through JFS. We were more then happy and quite honored to be able to be a part of Susan's transformation and are currently working with another JFS referral who prefers to keep her anonymity. Needless to say we are excited to see the results and will try to keep our followers as much a part of this story as we did with Susan's.

Dr. Lena and Dr. Mircea are grateful to have been able to share in the Night of 100 Dinners experience and to have had the opportunity to meet so many kind and generous people work so hard to help the less fortunate in our communities.

We hope that everyone reading this will be inspired to do their part, no matter how big or small, and do what they can to help feed the hungry.
