Mayor honors JWV national leaders with Key to the City

On Thanksgiving evening, November 27, 2024, the Jewish War Veterans of the United States (JWV) and Auxiliary of Massachusetts hosted a “Welcome Reception” for JWV National Commander (2024-2025) Gary Ginsburg and Jewish War Veteran Auxiliary (JWVA) National President (2024-2025) Jo Reingold. Both of them were presented, from Mayor Patrick Keefe, Jr., the “Key to the City” in recognition of their distinguished, meritorious service and achievement in their ongoing efforts to honor and support all our Nation’s Veterans. Included in the presentation were Revere City Council Vice President Ira Novoselsky (Ward 2) – JWV Past National Commander (2008-2009) – JWV Massachusetts Department Commander Alan Lehman and JWVA Post 220 President Leslie Emack.  Several post commanders and members were on hand to welcome and recognize our National Leaders. Special thanks to all from the JWV Department, Posts, Auxiliary of Massachusetts, family members and guests that attended the event. The JWV continued our annual tradition of serving our veterans on Thanksgiving Day at Massachusetts Veterans Home at Chelsea, which they have done for the past 70 years. The next visit will be on Christmas Day. (Courtesy photo)
