It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Kip Homestead gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in East Rutherford, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

I recommend them to everybody.”
Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Sesselman Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Vesta Wood-Fired or visit Iviswold, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in East Rutherford, NJ, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in East Rutherford, NJ understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

MetLife Stadium: home of two National Football League (NFL) teams, concerts, performances, and countless other entertainment events. This venue, located in East Rutherford, New Jersey has the capacity to seat up to 82,500 sports and entertainment fans at each event. MetLife is one of a kind, as it is the only active stadium to serve as home base for two NFL teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Whether you’re in East Rutherford to watch football, attend a concert, or something else, we’re here to make sure you are prepared for your visit to MetLife. Read on for a guide to all things MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The first step in planning your MetLife experience is buying a ticket. An event calendar is available online, detailing all upcoming happenings at the stadium. Football might be the main draw, but it is certainly not the only attraction. MetLife also hosts concerts, performances, and even has regular tours of the stadium itself. Tickets are required for all games and shows, though young children may be admitted for free, depending on the particular event. Through the online schedule, you can identify your preferred excursion and get all the necessary entrance info.
With the online calendar, you can also opt to purchase tickets through an affiliated portal powered by Ticketmaster. On-site ticket booths open about three hours before each event starts, and sales tend to close at halftime or intermission. If you’re able to plan ahead, online ordering is perhaps the best bet to ensure you’re organized and ultimately happy with your seat. Scalping, or the resale of tickets at a significant markup, is strictly prohibited on stadium grounds and surrounding roadways. Such activity should be reported when encountered. The stadium is also now completely a cash-free venue, so be sure to come prepared with other methods of payment.
On game day, you’ll need to have a transportation plan. Meadowlands Rail Station is a half-mile walk from the stadium, so taking the train in is an excellent way to beat the traffic. For most train routes from the Montclair area, like the Montclair-Boonton Line or Morris and Essex Line, you will need to transfer at Secaucus Junction. A round trip from Secaucus will cost between $3 and $5 in addition to the cost of a ticket from your origin station.
For those arriving by personal car, tailgating is popular. Parking passes are pre-sold by NFL teams or can be purchased online. While pricing varies by game, a spot can cost $25 to $40 for a typical car. Larger vehicles, like buses, can cost from $75 to $150. All tailgating should be confined to the parking space purchased, so make sure your spread is contained by your car. You’re welcome to bring a picnic and can even grill in certain areas, though all waste must be properly disposed of as you enter the game. To prevent fire hazards, coals from a grill should be discarded in the designated containers provided at each parking lot.
Once inside, more fun awaits. MetLife features several strategically placed, state-of-the-art viewing screens to keep you abreast of all of the action, no matter where you sit. Fans will be treated to trivia games and animated shorts displayed on these boards while their team is huddling.
Concession stands line the halls, so you’re never too far from a hot dog or chicken tenders when you get peckish. Adult and non-alcoholic beverages can also be purchased at certain vendors, and free WiFi is available throughout the stadium as an additional perk. Forgot your Giants or Jets jersey? No problem. NFL merchandise is sold on-site in case you want to add team colors to your ensemble.
Keep up to speed with everything MetLife here, the Giants here, and the Jets here.

Chances are good that Oasis is going to get a better reception at MetLife Stadium this weekend than they did at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park 30 years ago.
The Brit band's New Jersey debut did not go smoothly when they played the legendary club on their first U.S. tour in March of 1995.
“Somebody threw a plastic beer bottle and it hit (lead singer Liam Gallagher) on the head during the first song,” said Peter Mantas, now the entertainment director for the Break and Low Dive venues across the street from the Pony, previously to the Asbury Park Press. “The roadie got on the mic and said if anything else is thrown the show's over.”
The concert was part of the “Definitely Maybe” tour. A reporter from Rolling Stone was at the show.
“Tonight, in front of a capacity audience at New Jersey's legendary Stone Pony, in Asbury Park, they aren't exactly getting star treatment,” states the article. “Before the band starts playing, a sodden cry rises up from the back of the sold-out room: “(Blank) Great Britain! England sucks! USA!” Then after just a single song, Oasis are rudely interrupted by a beer can.”
Oasis, which includes Liam's guitar playing brother Noel Gallager, disbanded in 2009 but announced they were reuniting last year. The Oasis Live '25 tour, which includes Cage the Elephant, plays Sunday, Aug. 31 and Monday, Sept. 1 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Below is everything you need to know about the MetLife concerts, compiled from information provided by the stadium and our reporting:
The Oasis Live '25 setlist has not changed since the tour began July 4 in Cardiff, Wales U.K.
The shows are sold out but secondary market tickets start around $250 and go up to $850 for seats near the stage and $550 for general admissions as of Thursday, Aug. 28.
Box office/Ticketmaster will call: Located at trailer outside MetLife Gate, opens at 2 p.m. Check your tickets and make sure you have the correct ticket date. Barcodes will appear on mobile tickets eight hours before the show.
Floor tickets: Early lineup location is outside the HCLTech Gate, starting no earlier than 2 p.m. Guests with GA (Energy Floor) and reserved floor tickets may enter any gate and proceed to the HCLTech Gate for an additional ticket scan and to receive a wristband. Expect 20 minutes to 30 minutes for the secondary scan and wristband process.
Rideshare: Designated rideshare (Uber, Lyft, etc.) pick-up/drop-off location is in Lot E. Rideshare surge pricing is often in effect after the event. Larger crowds will result in longer than usual wait times for a car to arrive (can be up to two-hour wait). Make sure your phone is charged and ready to go if you’re planning to use one of these services.
Non-rideshare pick-up/drop-off: Drop off located on the stadium roadway between Lots D and E. Pick up in in Lots D or K, accessible after 9 p.m. Persons dropping off concert attendees are encouraged to park and remain with their vehicle or visit American Dream to avoid excessive traffic at pickup.
NJ TRANSIT: Trains will operate between Secaucus Junction and MetLife Stadium on the Meadowlands Rail Line from from 4:29 pm. to 8:47 p.m. on Sunday and Monday. After the concert, the last train from MetLife Stadium to Secaucus will not depart Meadowlands Station any earlier than 1 a.m. Visit NJ Transit here for train timetables and more into.
COACH USA: Bus service will run 4:30 to 7:15 p.m. from Port Authority Area X (41st Street between 8th and 9th avenues) on Saturday and Sunday. The last bus will leave the stadium 60 minutes after the concert ends. Visit here for more information and tickets.
Mostly sunny with highs in the low 80s for Sunday and Monday, dropping down to 60s at night. The shows are rain or shine, although rain is unlikely.

East Rutherford is getting a new athletic complex. The years-in-the-making project — with a price tag north of $9 million — is expected to include several fields, water parks, dog parks and playgrounds.
Though the project, known as the Lois Lane Athletic Complex, has been in the works for years, it’s not set to open any time soon. And the borough doesn't own the property where the new facility is planned. It will use eminent domain to acquire the property from a handful of owners.
Among those owners is Fred Daibes, who is perhaps better known these days for his conviction on federal felony bribery charges alongside former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez.
Daibes was also found guilty in another federal case — involving bank fraud — and used the East Rutherford land, at 10 Morton St., as collateral in 2018. At that point, he had already been fighting with the borough for nearly a decade over the development of the 3.8-acre plot, which previously was the site of industrial warehouses.
The complications with the properties and East Rutherford's intentions to use eminent domain to acquire them hasn’t stopped the Legislature from sending ample funding to the Bergen County borough, though.
Resolutions sponsored by state Sen. Paul Sarlo have sent $5.5 million to the project over the last three years. Sarlo serves as the upper chamber’s budget committee chairman and is also the mayor of nearby Wood-Ridge.
Christopher Eilert, chief of staff for Sarlo, said the Legislature has a pattern of “providing yearly appropriations to very large-scale projects” because they often require large parcels of land, which can be hard to come by and are expensive.
“When the mayor and council of East Rutherford came to us years ago to show us this concept they had, we were certainly familiar that the property was blighted and that it's really an eyesore on the town,” Eilert said. “We knew that there's multiple property owners and properties there that they're trying to put together … but knowing who the specific owners are or which properties are owned by who, we have no idea.”
Eilert noted that the senator has supported several similar projects to expand or upgrade athletic complexes elsewhere in the district as well, including in Rutherford and Carlstadt.
Gov. Phil Murphy declined to comment.
Former East Rutherford Mayor James Cassella has said Daibes had tried to sell the former industrial land to the town for years but didn’t want to allow borough officials on the property to check for possible site contamination.
East Rutherford officials did not respond to inquiries for comment.
The property at 10 Morton St. is officially owned through a limited liability corporation connected to Daibes that has been in court on the local and municipal levels for years seeking permits and variances to develop the property.
More than a decade ago, a New Jersey Superior Court judge approved a 76-unit affordable-housing plan for the property, and a contract was drawn up for the town to buy the land for $3.5 million — based on assumptions that it was not polluted in any way. That plan never came to fruition.
There was an order from a judge to develop affordable housing on the property, but more recently it has been the scene of a dispute between the owners and East Rutherford.
The borough intends to transform the vacant land into a park and athletic complex after acquiring it through eminent domain. That process allows East Rutherford to purchase private property for public use by providing compensation for the property.
In April, a jury determined that figure to be $4,950,000.
The state sent $500,000 for the project in the new 2026 fiscal year budget that went into effect at the beginning of July. The Legislature allocated $3 million for the project during fiscal year 2024 and another $2 million in fiscal year 2025.
According to the application for state funding, East Rutherford also received $500,000 from the Department of Environmental Protection and $2,496,355 in grants from Bergen County.
But construction hasn’t started yet. In an application filed to the state in 2023, the borough outlined a timeline that included three months for a design phase and two months for bidding and awarding the project to a developer, followed by a six-month period to construct the facility.

A devastating fire broke out in the building of Congregation Beth El in East Rutherford, N.J., early on Friday morning, destroying the century-old building and the home of its leaders, Chabad Rabbi Yitzchak and Bina Lerman, who lived in the synagogue campus.The fire began at around 2:45 a.m., when the Lerman family heard smoke alarms ringing and saw the flames encircling them from the window.

A devastating fire broke out in the building of Congregation Beth El in East Rutherford, N.J., early on Friday morning, destroying the century-old building and the home of its leaders, Chabad Rabbi Yitzchak and Bina Lerman, who lived in the synagogue campus.
The fire began at around 2:45 a.m., when the Lerman family heard smoke alarms ringing and saw the flames encircling them from the window. Fleeing their home with just clothes on their back, Rabbi Lerman ran his wife and four children to safety at the neighbor’s house before turning around to salvage the Torah scrolls, only to see that fire had already engulfed the entire building. They had miraculously escaped with only a minute to spare.
“The destruction is just unbelievable,” said their brother-in-law, Rabbi Mendy Wilschanski, speaking to Chabad.org from near the still-smoking ruins hours later. “The only thing still standing is a brick wall and the shell of one room. Everything else is lost. Their clothes, possessions and all their memories just went up in smoke. On top of that, an active synagogue that served the community for over a century was destroyed. It’s a tremendous loss.”
Rabbi and Mrs. Lerman have served as the directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of South Bergen County and The Meadowlands for more than 10 years, when they arrived to lead Congregation Beth El. The synagogue, founded in 1919, was housed in what was once a residential home. Local authorities said that the structure contained old wood and varnish that might have accelerated the fire. No cause has been identified for the conflagration yet, and an investigation was launched on Aug. 8 to examine how it happened.
Though the Torah scrolls are surely ruined, Rabbi Lerman plans to work with firefighters to search for any remains, which will be given a proper burial according to halachah (Jewish law).
The community is coming together to support the Lerman family and the Jewish community. A non-Jewish neighbor opened his home to store what could be recovered for the site, while countless others came to the synagogue to show their solidarity.
A campaign was launched on Aug. 8 to help provide clothing, furniture and temporary housing for the family. Tents will be erected on the grounds of the destroyed synagogue to host services this Shabbat.
“The Lermans are just the most giving people. He is a teacher at the nearby yeshivah, a chaplain, and together with Bina, give their all to the community. They will be back and will not let this keep them down, but now, we need to be there for them like they were always there for their community,” Wilschanski said.
“We lost everything material,” said the rabbi. “But we still have each other, we still have our community, and we still have our purpose. A building can burn, but what we’ve built together ... that fire cannot touch.”
The work of rebuilding will begin immediately, he added, because East Rutherford needs its synagogue, and the synagogue needs its community.

The fire that enveloped a Rutherford synagogue early on the morning of Aug. 8 severely damaged a building that has served the area's Jewish community for more than a century.
Photos showed Congregation Beth El, on Montross Avenue, completely engulfed in flames from the blaze that broke out in the middle of the night. The fire forced the evacuation of Rabbi Yitzchok and Bina Lerman, who lived in the building and "welcomed guests with warmth and love," according to the synagogue website.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene around 2:45 a.m., the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office said in a press release. A preliminary inveistgation determined that there were no injuries, but the synagogue sustained "significant damage."
The scene was still active as of 10 a.m., the release stated. The public is asked to avoid the area while detours remain in place.
In a post on the Rutherford Facebook page, Mayor Frank Nunziato expressed his gratitude to the borough fire department for its quick response and urged local residents to support the synagogue in any way they can.
"While I can’t imagine what Rabbi Lerman, his wife Bina, their family and their entire Congregation are going through, I know their faith will see them through this terrible time," Nunziato said. "On behalf of the entire Rutherford community, please know we are here for you and are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers."
Congregation Beth El was established in 1919 for Jewish residents of southern Bergen County. Its congregation serves more than a dozen towns in the region, including East Rutherford, Garfield, Harrison and Secaucus.
"Our goal is to cater to each and every Jew regardless of background or degree of commitment," the website reads. "We present opportunities to discover the relevance, joy and meaning of our shared heritage in a warm, welcoming and non-judgmental environment."
The Lermans, who joined the synagogue in 2014, each have more than a decade of teaching experience to offer congregation members.
Rabbi Lerman is a professor at the Rabbinical College of America in Morristown and is an officer and chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve. Bina Lerman, a native of Australia, is the director of Congregation Beth El's Hebrew School and also teaches at Cheder Lubavitch Middle School in Morristown.
The synagogue organizes a variety of events for worshippers of all ages, including weekly Shabbat services and adult education classes. It hosts holiday programs throughout the year as well as a monthly "Soup & Scotch" on Friday evenings.
This is not the first time Congregation Beth El has experienced a fire. In 2012, a man threw firebombs into the second floor residence where Rabbi Neil Schuman and eight family members were sleeping, NorthJersey.com reported at the time.
The Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, in a statement hours after the Aug. 8 fire, said that while the blaze remains under investigation, "there are currently no indications of foul play."
Now, the synagogue is seeking donations for the Lermans, who "lost everything: their home, their belongings, and the heart of their community." To contribute, visit www.jewishrutherford.org/donate.
