On Saturday evening, January 6, the community came out to support Yachad New Jersey at its annual gala. Yachad is a division of the Orthodox Union; the benefit, the group’s main annual drive, raised funds to support its critical support system and programs.

The gala officially launched the new George Weinberger Music Studio & Music Appreciation program. Ronit and Dan Rubinoff donated the studio and program in memory of Ronit’s uncle, George Weinberger, who had a developmental disability and lived during a time when organizations like Yachad did not exist.

Yachad New Jersey is grateful to the entire community for its incredible support. For information, go to www.Yachad.org or email njyachad@ou.org.
