and Jerry Shinfeld
Th at’s what Steve Schwartz real-
ized last year when he staged a re-
union for those who had belonged
to the Norristown Jewish Commu-
nity Center before it merged with
Tiferet Israel in Lansdale and Bet
Israel to become Tiferet Bet Israel
in Blue Bell.

Once he started posting about
the reunion on Facebook, it made
a world of diff erence — so much
so that the 60-year-old Schwartz
plans to do it again in a year or so.

“It was a smashing success,”
Schwartz said. “Joining Face-
book generated a lot of activity.

We picked the right day to have
it, just before Shabbat. We had
cooked dinner Th ursday night
and charged each family $18 for
dinner. Aft er dinner, we reserved
an hour for people to reminisce.

Th en we went around and hand-
ed out parts for services because
the rabbi and cantor were away
that week.
