A Day of Solidarity and Action for Israel

JCC of Central NJ in Scotch Plains 1391 Martine Avenue, Scotch Plains, NJ, United States

As many of you know, our JCC was planning to host a “Fall in at the J” festival this Sunday, October 15 from 1-4 p.m. Given recent events in Israel, we will still be holding an event this Sunday afternoon, but it will look a bit different and will no longer be a fall festival but will instead be a day where we can come together as a community to support Israel and support each other.
