Past Events: Party With a Purpose 2019


On May 21, 2019, we came together to celebrate our Jewish community and a very special group of Jewish community leaders at Party With a Purpose. Together we recognized Jewish Federation in the Heart of New Jersey’s Kipnis-Wilson/Friedland (KWF) honorees and inducted our most recent honoree, Linda Block.

Reflecting strength, honor, and dedication, the Lion of Judah society honors women who make a continuing annual gift of $5000 or more. As a Lion's contributions grow, she is invited to accent her pin with gem stones representing giving levels.

Endowed Lion
