Kosher for Passover wine
was delivered this past week by the J's supplier. Through the kindness of volunteers, we will start to deliver purchases directly to your homes in the Longmeadow, East Longmeadow and Springfield areas beginning around April 1st. Some orders are missing wine and we expect to receive an additional shipment during the middle of the week so that we can complete your orders, if possible. Should your order still not be complete, we will be providing you with a refund as soon as we have the ability to process them.
If you live outside of the above areas, please email
Bev Nadler
to arrange a date and time for your pickup at the J.
Our goal is for you to receive your order in time for Passover, and although your Passover plans may be altered, hopefully you will be able to celebrate the holiday in a meaningful way. If you are sheltering in place outside of the state, please let us know and we will hold your order until you return. Thank you for your support and wishing all of you a Happy Passover and Happy Easter.

Wendy Libowitz spoke at the J in April, 2019 in a program called
Finding Family: Searching for Answers.
Wendy was interviewed by a podcaster named Damon Davis for his show Who Am I Really. The focus of his podcast is to interview adoptees who have searched and reunited with biological family.
Here is a link to listen to Wendy's episode.
