On Sunday, May 6, over 200 people attended the Jewish Journal’s “Menschions & Mimosas” brunch at Temple B’nai Abraham in Beverly. Bradley Sontz, president of the Journal’s Board of Overseers, served as the morning’s emcee. At the brunch, people feasted on bagels, lox, cream cheese, salads, provided by Zayde’s Market, and sipped mimosas, courtesy of Kappy’s On Call. “The event was more successful than imagined,” said Matthew Swartz, who helped organize the gala and is a member of the Journal’s Board of Overseers. “We felt that there was a strong sense of community there and that people are really committed to seeing the Journal grow and prosper.”
