Dear Community Members,

We are contacting you to inform you that Lucy Towbin is no longer employed by JFAR. We wish her the best in her future endeavors. In the transition, the phone and email will be monitored to ensure that individuals who contact JFAR with a social service need are referred appropriately. We look forward to launching the search for a new social worker in the near future. 

Sincerely,
Yahelle Yaccoby
