NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- UJA-Federation of New York’s New Rochelle and Tov B’Yachad communities kicked off the holiday season for the residents at Kittay House, an independent senior living facility in the Bronx run by Jewish Home Lifecare, a UJA-Federation beneficiary agency.

More than 60 people came to play bingo, do crafts and enjoy holiday treats with more than 150 Kittay House residents.

The event was part of the Gift of Hanukkah, a program during which the organization’s communities in Westchester host parties with clients at a number of agencies it supports. “You may not realize this, but UJA supports nearly 100 health, human service, educational and community agencies — including the one we’re in right now, Kittay House,” said AnneBeth Levenson of White Plains.

Levenson served as co-chair of the event with Jill Goldfein and Elizabeth Trump, both of New Rochelle.
