More than 300 supporters of Jewish Family Services (JFS) gathered at the historic Madrid Theatre for the organization’s inaugural event, Bright Night. The celebration illuminated the life-changing work done in the community through Jewish Family Services. Three generations of the Himmelstein family served as honorary chairs, and the event co-chairs were Danielle and Jeremy Antes and Lena Price and Tom Cohen. Funds raised support the agency’s essential human services for people of all faiths.
