Metulla, led by President Nancy Schwartz, has 24 Chai Society members, each of whom received a pin designed by Israeli artist Yossi and presented by Elva Rosner. Rosner also talked about the tea parties Hadassah founder Henrietta Szold held to build support for what became Israel.

For All Occasions and More provided the kosher spread of sandwiches, cheeses, fruits, pastries and teas for the sukkah tea party.
