Yachad NJ Virtual Gala This Sat. Night Jan. 9 By Andrea Nissel | January 06, 2021 On Motzei Shabbat, January 9, Yachad New Jersey will host its annual gala, celebrating exceptional honorees and the entire Yachad community dedicated to enriching the lives of Jewish individuals with developmental disabilities. The event will take place virtually to maintain the safety of all participants, and while it might look different this year, it promises to be as meaningful as always. At a time when so many of us are feeling isolated, Yachad has worked harder than ever to bring people together. New Jersey Director Raquel (Rocky) Selevan said despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the organization has managed to grow its programming, finding creative ways to continue providing the community with the services they want and need.
