On Wednesday, December 16, more than 40 Jewish seniors from Bayonne and Jersey City enjoyed an intergenerational Hanukkah party as part of the Chai Café Kosher Lunch program held at the Bayonne JCC.  Children from the Lauren Wendroff Early Enrichment Center sang Hanukkah songs, danced with the seniors and lit the menorah as Rabbi Robert Scheinberg from the United Synagogue of Hoboken played the guitar. 

The Chai Café is a kosher nutrition site for those 60 years and older, sponsored by the Jewish Family & Counseling Service (JF&CS) of Jersey City, Bayonne and Hoboken and made possible by the generous funding of the Hudson County Division on Aging.  Lunch is served Monday through Friday and the minimum suggested donation for meals is $2.  Kosher meals are also available for delivery for homebound seniors.  To make a reservation for the Chai Café, please contact 201-697-3355.
