Faces of the Federation

We’re excited to spotlight the people who make our JFED community so special. This is our way of celebrating the people who make our Federation a true community.

Chaim Gewirtzman

We are honored to have Chaim on our board. Here is a great story of his efforts on a recent call as an EMT in Waterbury. Kol Hakavod, all kudos to Chaim!

Joel Abramson



A 101-year-old Southbury man recounted his remarkable story as a World War II Fighter pilot Saturday morning in Oxford. 

It’s been over 80 years since Joel Abramson set foot on a fighter plane but the 101-year-old told News 8 that he can remember his last flight like it was yesterday.
