Jewish Family Services of Northeastern New York (JFS) will hold its Generations Celebration on Thursday, December 3, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Congregation Ohav Shalom, 113 Krumkill Road, Albany.

The evening will honor three community members with the Anschel Weiss Community Builders Award: Rabbi Dr. Moshe E. Bomzer, LMSW; state Senator Neil D. Breslin; and Gordon N. Zuckerman.

JFS will also recognize the Massry Family for their leadership in helping secure the organization’s future, and will mark 20 years of two of its longest-running programs, the Albany Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NNORC) and Project 5 Transportation.

The celebration will applaud three of Project 5’s longest-serving volunteer drivers: Abe Lacheta, Margo Strosberg and Sandi Zarch.

The award is named for Anschel O. Weiss, the longtime JFS executive director who recently passed away. It recognizes those who serve humanity with humility, as Weiss did throughout his years of communal service.

Proceeds from the celebration support the free and subsidized services JFS provides to individuals and families of all ages, faiths and walks of life.

Those interested in joining the honorary committee or becoming a sponsor can call JFS at 518-482-8856 or visit jfsneny.org.
