Recently the JHS of NJ received the papers belonging to Jackie Levine. This collection spans decades of her work in a variety of social causes and Jewish agencies. Her collection is important so we can see not only what she achieved personally, but also we see the goals of the movements that she was involved with. 
The JHS of NJ thanks the family for  donating this very important collection to our archive. 

Here are some items from the Jackie Levine Collection:
