On November 4, 2018, Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled held a Gala and Opening Reception Art Exhibit – doorways to infinite possibility.
This event was held at the Jewish Community Center in West Orange, New Jersey. At this extraordinary event JSDD presented Barry R. Mandelbaum, a founding member of Mandelbaum Salsburg, a full-service law firm in Roseland, NJ the Outstanding Advocate and Humanitarian Award for being a leader in the community helping to make the world a better place and enriching the lives of so many. Also, JSDD presented an Honoree Award to Alfred Anthony, Deputy Mayor, Livingston for his many accomplishments and dedication to making the community a better place, particular to members with special needs.
To continue supporting our talented artists, JSDD invites our friends, families, and constituents to experience our interactive art exhibit hosted at the Gaelen Gallery East at the JCC in West Orange, which will be open to the public from November 11th through December 30th, 2018.
According to Executive Director Linda Press, “The WAE Center is a wonderful manifestation of what we do here at JSDD. The vibrant talents of our individual members are once again on display for the community to appreciate, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the support we receive to enable these programs.”
