Founded thirty-six years ago, JFS provides affordable mental health counseling, case management, senior services, and emergency financial assistance to the Jewish and greater communities.

Purim is a joyous festival that celebrates the heroism of Esther and Mordecai and the downfall of the evil Haman (Booooooo!). The Rabbis at the time of the Talmud commanded us to get drunk “until we could no longer distinguish between ‘cursed is Haman’ and ‘blessed is Mordecai’. Almost all of us will eat far too many Hamantaschen, and many of us will wear costumes portraying the central figures of the story.
This has been a busy time for those of us at JFS. We say goodbye and good luck to Jules Barajas and Morgan Miller, both doing their internships at our agency working in our Social Service Department headed up by Bill McBroom.
