Over 200 sponsors, friends and family gathered for the first time in two years to celebrate 15 years of the agency’s signature program, “Simchat Shabbat”, a joyous Shabbat service that is free to attend, includes everyone, and is “no-shush.” All funds will be used toward Gesher programs and services, allowing the disability community to participate at low to no fees.
