“Welcome to our new home,” were the everlasting words of Michael Nussbaum, President of the Queens Jewish Community Council (QJCC). Queens’ political leadership did not disappoint last Tuesday, November 21, for the ribbon-cutting event ten years in the making. “In the beginning there was darkness, and then there was light,” began Nussbaum, who also lived up to his promise to open the facility’s doors before stepping down this upcoming February. “In the beginning, this space was empty for over a decade. Today it has been revitalized and there is life,” continued Nussbaum as he credited our “thriving, successful, active central Jewish community” as the optimal space for an organization.
