JFSLA Shabbat
Notable people and events in the Jewish LA community.
The Friday night event, a sold-out dinner held at Beverly Hills café Leora, raised funds for Jewish Family Service L.A.’s Tools for School program, which provides school supplies and other essentials to students in need.
“As the vice chair of Jewish Family Service LA Young Leaders, I was honored to co-host this event with Leora and Gourmet Gatherings,” JFSLA Young Leaders Vice Chair Maggie Wolf Lewis said. “The evening, which benefited JFSLA’s Tools for School Program, was a way for young philanthropists to gather on Shabbat, nosh on Israeli food and be in community all while supporting the vital work of JFSLA.”

Attendees included Leor Klein, owner of Leora; real estate professional, philanthropist and reality television star Josh Flagg; and Gourmet Gatherings Founder Carly Maltzman.
“As the oldest social service agency in the city, JFSLA has done a phenomenal job of taking care of the community, both Jewish and otherwise,” Flagg said.
JFSLA provides services to the city’s most vulnerable people, including those who have needs around mental healthcare, food insecurity, domestic violence, aging, disabilities and more. JFSLA Young Leaders describes itself as the “next-gen philanthropy arm of JFSLA.”
