Union County Torah Center-Chabad

WESTFIELD, N.J. — Union County Torah Center–Chabad will present “Family First: Why It Matters So Much,” an online class taught by Rabbi Levi Block, on Wednesday, October 14, at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.
From the Torah’s first commandment—“Be fruitful and multiply”—family has occupied a central place in Jewish life. This class will explore why building a family and bringing children into the world are considered fundamental parts of G-d’s plan for creation.
Participants will examine how Jewish thought understands the unique contribution each child makes to the purpose of existence and why the mitzvah of bringing new life into the world is viewed as a profound partnership with G-d in creation.
The class will also sensitively address the painful challenge of infertility and consider the Torah’s perspective on those who are unable to have children. Participants will discover how every Jew can share in the deeper purpose of this mitzvah by inspiring, teaching, supporting, and nurturing life—both physically and spiritually.
The class will be delivered live on Zoom. Registration is required at&nbsp;<a href="https://torahcenterchabad.org/familyfirst/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://torahcenterchabad.org/familyfirst/ </a>to receive the Zoom link.
Union County Torah Center–Chabad is located at 111 Laurel Place in Westfield.

First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen

“METUCHEN EMPTY BOWLS”
Local Artist Come Together to Help Feed Those in Need
A group of artists are joining together to create an art event that will feed the soul and, literally, feed the body too.
Artists from Lore Ceramics, Earthsongs Studio, Basecamp Studio &amp; Gallery, Rising Heart Studio and Friends of Metuchen Arts, will hold a “Metuchen Empty Bowls” fundraiser to benefit the First Presbyterian Church Community Food Pantry on Saturday, October 10, 2026 between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. in the Church’s social hall located at 270 Woodbridge Avenue in Metuchen.
The event will feature the church’s famous soup meal complete with salad, bread and desert, plus each attendee will receive a handmade ceramic bowl created especially for the event by local ceramic artists. There will be live music and an art fair with opportunity to purchase addition art to help the cause.
Organizer Robert Diken of Basecamp Studio &amp; Gallery, a ceramic artist himself, explains:
“Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement where artists raise money for hunger-relief charities. The simple concept is: potters make bowls, restaurants donate soup, and the community shows up. As a ceramic artist, I jumped at the chance to give back through my practice, partnering with fellow artists and studios who share that spirit. For the Metuchen Empty Bowls Project, the First Presbyterian Food Pantry supplies the soup — making them both a partner and the recipient of every dollar raised.”
All proceeds from the Empty Bowl dinner go directly to the FPC Food Pantry. Tickets to The Empty Bowl Project are $50, children under age 16 are free.
“The goal of the FPC Food Pantry is to make sure no one in our area ever goes to bed hungry,” said FPC Food Pantry Director Sarah Teti. “Achieving this would not be possible without the financial partnership of members of the community and the hard work of our dedicated volunteers who come from every corner of the community.”
