Songs for Change:
A Night of Broadway with NCJW
|
|
Thursday, November 18, 5 pm, Zoom |
|
Join NCJW for a night of song, spirit, and inspiration as we come together to enjoy performances from Broadway favorites and celebrate the joy and power of change making. Performing arts such as theater and song have the ability to both entertain and move us. At the end of this long year, without in-person gatherings as a community, and after theaters were closed for safety, we welcome a selection of Broadway’s brightest stars from Wicked, Waitress, The Lion King, Hairspray, The Band’s Visit, and more for a joyful and entertaining benefit concert that will inspire us to make change with a lasting impact.
Tickets are pay what you wish, with a suggested donation of $54. Get yours today – click here!

Celebrate with Your NCJW Friends
at the Post Chanukah Party!
|
|
Sunday, December 12, 2 - 3:30 pm, Zoom |
|
In lieu of our annual Chanukah brunch, let's zoom together for a virtual post-Chanukah Celebration! We encourage you to come dressed festively in blue and white.
Our program:
- Fun virtual icebreaker games!
- Share your Chanukah memories and cherished Chanukah items (have the item nearby to show us)! How did you celebrate Chanukah this year in contrast to previous years?
- Come ready to tell us about a good book or movie you've enjoyed in the last six months!
- We’ll end with great music from our own Pattie Davidson and her husband Marc, professional musicians in the band Second Wind!

In the last several years we've had a voluntary toy donation opportunity at our NCJW in-person Chanukah party. If you’d like to help make the December holidays a little brighter for one of the 400+ abused or neglected children that For The Child serves, consider ordering safely online from one of their holiday toy registry “wish lists” (see below) and send to For The Child, 4565 California Ave., Long Beach, CA 90807.
Amazon has many teen gifts that they need, and Walmart and Target have items for younger children. Please mark "No Weekend Delivery" in the comment section of the order, and then send an email to For The Child at mchavez@forthechild.org so that they know your order is coming and they can thank you.

Support JFCS Families during the Holidays!

|
As the NCJW liaison to JFCS, I am excited to chair the agency's Adopt-A-Family program again this year. As the holiday season approaches, there is a greater need than ever to reach out to families that could use an outstretched hand.
If you would like to adopt a family or treat a person to a traditional Thanksgiving meal, click on this link, fill out the form, and hit "submit."
Thank you,
Judy Leff, board member
