Schoke JFS Returns for Successful Back to School Shop Distribution – Feeding Hundreds
Schoke Jewish Family Service is thrilled to have partnered with the Back to School Shop (BTSS) again for their 10th annual event on July 28, 2024. At the BTSS event, children from Stamford’s low-income families had the opportunity to pick out brand-new school essentials at a special one-day shop, completely free of charge. After they finished shopping for their back-to-school gear, they were welcomed by the Mobile Food Pantry, which, alongside nutritious bags of food, provided personal care kits and laundry packs, meeting the diverse needs of hundreds of children and families. “Rejoining forces with the Back to School Shop has been an incredible opportunity,” said Leah Schechter, Schoke JFS Chief Program Officer. “It’s inspiring to see how much we can accomplish when we work together. This event not only provided essential resources but also highlighted the power of community teamwork.” Volunteers, donors, and local organizations came together to make the day possible, demonstrating the collective commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all. “We were so pleased to welcome the Schoke JFS Mobile Food Pantry to our 10th anniversary event for the second year. It was remarkable to supplement everything the Back to School Shop provided to its 430 participating families with bags full of groceries, fresh produce, and personal care kits. I am so proud to be a part of both organizations,” said Meryl Japha, co-founder and co- chair of the Back to School Shop and
Schoke JFS Board Member. As the new school year approaches, the impact of this event will undoub- tedly be felt by many. Schoke JFS and the Back to School Shop have once again proven that through dedication and teamwork, we can make a meaningful difference. In the week following the one-day event, more than a dozen families had already visited the Freedberg Family Kosher Food Pantry to receive additional food insecurity support and resources.

A Message From the President & CEO
As I write this message, the upcoming one- year anniversary of October 7th is looming large. It is a date, like several others, that will be
understand the war, for ex-pat Israelis who were looking for like-minded individuals, for college students facing anti-Semitism on campus, and for anyone else who just needed to make sense and deal with the tragedy we experienced. It is not uncommon for the Schoke JFS staff to encounter people and families in the midst of despair. Sometimes, it seems difficult to find hope in what seems to be hopeless times. Through counseling and support groups, many are able to find the support and comfort to deal with the situations in which they find themselves. Here are a few approaches recommended by the American Psychological Association that might assist you in coping with the stress, anxiety and sadness many are feeling at the present time: • Give yourself time to adjust. Anticipate that this will be a difficult time in your life. Allow yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced and try to be patient with changes in your emotional state. • Ask for support from people who care about you and who will listen
and empathize with your situation. Social support is key. Family and friends can be an important resource. You can find support and common ground from those who feel the same. • Avoid making major life decisions. Switching careers or jobs and other important decisions tend to be highly stressful in their own right and even harder to take on when you’re dealing with traumatic situations. Schoke JFS clinicians are trained to help when the stress becomes too difficult. Support groups, according to the APA, can help like-minded people realize that they are not alone and provide support systems for those who need them. Reach out to us with questions, to see a therapist, or join a group. Wishing you and your families a Shana Tova, a year filed with health, happiness and hope.
etched into the Jewish consciousness for all time. Yesterday, I watched the funeral for Hersh Goldberg-Polin who became the standard bearer name and the face for the hostages. It was a truly heart-wrenching experience that was witnessed live by thousands. I watched it, heartbroken, along with all who came to mourn and tens of thousands who watched on live stream. The collective sadness was palpable and indelible. Since the start of the War, Schoke JFS provided support for those who are grieving and sad. We have provided groups for parents to help their children 196 Greyrock Place, Stamford, CT 06901 203-921-4161 Fax: 203-921-4169 2452 Black Rock Turnpike, Suite 2 Fairfield, CT 06825 203-628-4622 www.ctjfs.org Victoria Parruccini, Editor EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Board Chair................................Ken Neuhaus Vice Chairs..................................

A Message From the Board Chair
I have always looked forward to the Fall and the approach of the Jewish holidays. It’s a time to catch up and appreciate friends and family. To take stock and be thankful for the abundance of good from which I have benefited. Unfortunately, this year is different. As we approach the 1 year anniversary of October 7, I cannot help but think about the tremendous pain, suffering and loss that has and continues to occur as well as the anti-semitism that has come to the fore.

Dedication of The Tova Room: Honoring a Legacy of Love and Support
Family and friends came together at Schoke JFS for a heartfelt dedication of The Tova Room, our new children’s therapy room, named in loving memory of Tova Feldstein z”l. The room stands as a tribute to Tova’s enduring impact on the lives of children in our community, reflecting her spirit and commitment that continue to inspire us all. The event was marked by touching remarks from Tova’s parents, Sharon and
Michael Feldstein, and her brother, Yosef Feldstein. Their words captured the essence of Tova’s kindness and the profound influence she had on everyone around her. The gathering also enjoyed the Tova Special from Beldotti Bakery, a sweet gesture that brought everyone together in fond remembrance of Tova’s remarkable life and legacy. We are deeply grateful for the support and presence of all who attended, celebrating a person whose memory will forever be cherished through the new room that will serve countless children in need.

How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing – KC Davis
couples through the transition from a single to a “binuclear” family—one that functions across two households while supporting children. This book challenges the myth that
divorce inevitably harms children, offering a refreshing perspective for parents dealing with divorce and urging a shift in how we approach and think about the process. Diane Ferber, LMFT, Psychotherapist, recommendation: “The Good Divorce by Dr. Ahrons is an exceptional guide to navigating divorce. This book offers invaluable support for managing relationship upheaval during the divorce process and in the aftermath. Grounded in extensive research, it presents its insights in a highly accessible and engaging manner.” We take the pieces of your financial puzzle and put them into place. Using The Intentional Formula™ to help you navigate through life’s phases. We work with you to design a plan for your future.
In How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing, KC Davis shares
a revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing that helps alleviate feelings of shame and overwhelm associated with a messy home. Therapist KC Davis, inspired by her own struggle with a stress-mess cycle after her second child’s birth, discovered that a home should work for you, not the other way around. Her transformative method, shared widely through her TikTok account @domesticblisters, emphasizes self-compassion and practical strategies to make chores manageable and reduce guilt, allowing your home to become a peaceful sanctuary. Hannah Pollack, Director of Case Management, LCSW, recommendation: “How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis is one of my all-time favorite books. It has profoundly influenced my perspective on daily life, and I love seeing clients’ lives transform through it. Written by an LPC with ADHD, its short, conversational chapters and practical advice—along with guidance on which chapters to skip—make it incredibly accessible. The core message that care tasks are morally neutral and not a reflection of one’s worth, combined with actionable tips, makes this book a game-changer for anyone navigating a challenging life stage.”

Q&A with Attorney Peter J. Ryan on Foreclosure Prevention
Q Can you tell us a bit about your background and experience in real estate and foreclosure matters? A Certainly. I’m an attorney licensed in Connecticut and New York, with over a decade of experience focusing on real estate and foreclosure issues. Since the 2008 Financial Crisis, I’ve closed thousands of real estate transactions and assisted hundreds of homeowners in avoiding foreclosure through strategies like short sales, loan modifications, and deeds in lieu of foreclosure. I also mediate and actively defend foreclosure actions in New York and Connecticut, both in mediation and litigation. Q What is the primary goal of banks when it comes to foreclosure avoidance programs? A Banks engage in foreclosure avoidance programs primarily to minimize their own losses, not out of a desire to help homeowners. They participate in these programs when it’s financially more beneficial for them compared to pursuing a costly foreclosure. It’s crucial to keep expectations realistic, as banks can and do reject applications if they don’t meet their criteria. Q What are the most important factors to consider when submitting documents for foreclosure avoidance programs? A Two key factors are thoroughness and speed. Submitting documents promptly and completely is crucial. There’s no practical difference between submitting none of the required documents or submitting nearly all of them—banks won’t start processing until they have a complete set. If some documents expire while you’re gathering others, you must update the outdated ones to avoid delays. Q How should homeowners handle communication with their bank during the foreclosure process? A Don’t wait passively for the bank to contact you. After submitting your documents, actively follow up to ensure that everything was received correctly and is being reviewed. Delays in communication can result in missed opportunities or extended foreclosure processes. Q When should a homeowner seek professional advice regarding foreclosure? A Seeking professional advice should be a priority, especially if you’re actively facing foreclosure. Professional guidance is crucial because there’s always
the risk of losing your home during the process. Even if the process is moving along successfully, attempting to come to an agreement with the bank does not prevent foreclosures and may not even delay it. A professional can provide invaluable
assistance and strategy to navigate these complex situations. Q Do you have any final advice for home- owners dealing with foreclosure issues? A Absolutely—there’s no substitute for professional advice. If you’re facing foreclosure, it’s vital to consult with a knowledgeable attorney or advisor as soon as possible to explore all available options and protect your interests. Peter Ryan is a valued community member and has been an invaluable resource to our Case Management Department. For more detailed guidance, Schoke JFS Director of Case Management, Hannah Pollack, LCSW, recommends checking out Peter’s book How to Avoid Foreclosure: A Step-by-Step Guide to Loan Modifications, Short Sales, and Deeds in Lieu , available on Amazon.
