Kenny and Zukes Deli sliced up enough pastrami and other deli favorites to serve the 125 supporters of Jewish Family and Child Service who turned out for the Oct. 29 fundraiser for the agency’s TASK program, which supports individuals, families and children with disabilities through educational, outreach and activities throughtout the state.

David Fuks, CEO of Cedar Sinai Park, served as the master of ceremonies for the event. The agency honored two women who are instrumental in Ozreinu, a Jewish support group for parents coping with disabilities. Honorees were Mel Berwin, the local facilitator, and Rabbi Shawn Fields-Meyer, who created the first Ozreinu support group in California and later brought it to Portland.
