Great Neck, NY - April 5, 2017 - For the eighth year in a row, UJA volunteer and Great Neck resident Ellen Grossman celebrated her birthday with 25 friends by catering, hosting and serving a pre-Passover Seder for 85 Holocaust survivors at the Barry and Florence Friedberg Jewish Community Center in Oceanside, NY. The survivors – seated at banquet tables – participated in a Seder led by a local rabbi featuring traditional prayers and songs.
