Welcome New Member: Jeffer & Harris Jewish Funeral Directors

OUR PRICING PHILOSOPHY – Jeffer & Harris Jewish Funeral Directors understand the importance of providing pricing information that is easily understandable. With so much regulation in the funeral industry, we are required to attribute prices for every aspect of service we perform. This information is available on our published General Price List, however, because there are so many items listed, trying to ascertain from this list the bottom-line cost of planning a funeral is extremely difficult. The price for each specific service we offer is less important than the bottom line price you will be paying. When comparing prices among funeral homes, please be mindful of the bottom line and always feel free to call us with any questions or concerns.

OUR LOCATIONS – We are conveniently located on Route 9 North in Old Bridge New Jersey and on Main Street in Matawan- Aberdeen. Both facilities have large parking lots and a chapel set up for accommodating mourners at a dignified service.

OUR DIRECTORS – The Jeffer and Harris families have devoted over 120 years combined of their careers working to assisting Jewish families with honoring and celebrating the life of their loved ones.

The Jeffer family, who has owned and operated a very successful funeral home in Brooklyn, New York since 1943 reached out to Mark asking if he would join them on a new venture. Mark has been serving the New Jersey Jewish communities for over 50 years.

The Jeffer family, knowing that many families they have served over the years have moved to Central New Jersey asked Mark to join them. Mark has always wanted to be a Manager and Owner of a family operated funeral home. When he was given the opportunity to join the Jeffer family and a new relationship was formed.

Together, they will continue their work serving the families of the Jewish faith in Central New Jersey.

We honor local veterans in various ways including our annual Veterans Day luncheon and our support to the Annual NJ Run for the Fallen. We are active in the Monmouth County Veterans Services Council and the NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce.

We support our youth through our Junior ROTC Scholarship Program and our sponsorship of the Jersey Shore Junior Science Symposium.

Welcome New Member: Kate’s Canine Care, LLC

Hi, my name is Kate and I’ve been running Kate’s Canine Care LLC since 2016. In the beginning, I didn’t know that it would turn into the lucrative business that it is today and I couldn’t be more grateful. I was attending college at Rutgers University, babysitting, and dog walking on the side. I realized quickly that I was not heading in the right direction. I knew in my heart that I wanted to work for myself (and with animals) because I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

I had no idea what was to come, but I put my whole heart and energy into creating my business. I started off on Rover, and then branched out and became an LLC with my own insurance. I became interested with marketing and advertising, and my business took off. What I do makes my heart so happy and I couldn’t be more thrilled about what I’ve created. I love the flexibility, working with wonderful animals every single day, and providing my customers with stellar pet care. This job allows me to live the life I want and have the freedom I desire.

Welcome New Member: Brew Coffee Bar

Brandon Castro, the owner of the new Brew Coffee Bar, believes that through coffee and community, his business can become a hotspot at 133a Main St., Matawan.

“While in quarantine, I decided to take my love of coffee to the next level and become Specialty Coffee Association certified in the science and preparation of coffee brewing and tasting. I studied online and in-person through Coffee Project New York,” Castro said.

“Brew Coffee Bar focuses on American style drip coffee and pour-overs. We offer several local coffee blends that are approachable, but sustainably sourced. With offerings from light to dark roasts there is something for everyone. We also carry light pastries and locally blended teas,” he said.

As the owner of a small business, Castro expressed the importance of supporting home-grown businesses by shopping locally. He said the personalized level of service his business can provide to its customers cannot always be found at larger operations.

“It is important to shop local because those businesses are usually the ones most passionate about their craft or service; they offer a level of care and love you won’t find at big-name places … when you can stay in town or right next door, you get to know the owners and the daily workers. That bond to the local products or people is a feeling like no other,” Castro said.

Castro, who is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., attended the local Cliffwood Elementary School and graduated from Matawan Regional High School. He has a passion for creating a local space that serves those around him. For Castro, the goal of Brew Coffee Bar is “to become a staple of the community” by offering high-quality service, hosting social events and “bringing awareness to what coffee can be.”

Welcome New Member: Elise Lenhart

As a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I am a professionally trained ceremony specialist who has an extensive background in the history of ritual, ceremony and traditions in many cultures and religions. Currently specializing in funerals and weddings, my journey to becoming a Life-Cycle Celebrant began at a young age with the death of my father. That particular point in time had a powerful impact and helped to direct the course of my life in ways that I continue to discover.

I’ve pursued a longing to understand the moments in our life that show us the depth of who we are, whether those moments are joyful, sorrowful or in the quiet moments we spend enjoying family and friends. Life has an uncanny way of reminding us who we are and why we are here, and my love of travel, new cultures and the friendships I’ve fostered along the way has been a catalyst to understand why I’m here.

As a Life-Cycle Celebrant I bring my life experiences to all that I do to create a safe place to craft a one-of-a-kind ceremony; whether for a funeral, wedding or milestone event, that expresses the individual’s story and purpose. We are all unique in who we are and our uniqueness is meant to be honored and celebrated.

What I’ve come to learn along the way is how easily we can miss the beauty of life that surrounds us, even in the smallest of moments. To celebrate the beauty of life and the lives of our loved ones is one of the ways we nurture our legacy for others to carry forward.

Welcome New Member: Tao & Zen Acupuncture

At Tao & Zen Acupuncture, the patient is always the most important person in the room. The focus of an acupuncture is to treat the person rather than a condition; by listening to the patient, gathering the facts, and looking at the big picture, a personalized treatment plan is developed and tweaked as needed according to patient feedback. Ultimately, acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Safe, drug-free treatments are available to alleviate a host of ailments and to reach and maintain optimal health.

Acupuncture is a medical art with a rich and long-standing history; the earliest known Chinese medical texts date back to between 186 and 156 BC. The World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health released a report in 2003 listing conditions effectively treated by acupuncture, including

• Anxiety
• Osteoarthritis
• Sciatica
• Depression
• Fibromyalgia
• Acid reflux
• Insomnia
• Peripheral neuropathies
• Irritable bowel and colitis
• Headache and migraine
• Disc issues
• Menopausal syndrome
• Sinusitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Menstrual issues

Welcome New Member: Alternate Ending Beer Co.

Alternate Ending Beer Co. is a destination brewpub located in the former Bow Tie Cinemas on Rt. 34 in Aberdeen. We are a friendly gathering space where people come from near and far to drink a delicious beer, have an incredible meal, and watch one of their favorite movies in our movie theater room.
All of our signature craft beer is brewed on location with a state-of-the-art brewhouse, and our specialty beers include Juicy IPA, traditional lagers, oatmeal stouts, and delicate mixed cultures.
We are SO excited about our partnership with Talula’s of Asbury Park! Talula’s will provide a casual yet vibrant menu centered around sourdough square pizza pies, which are perfect for pairing with beer. We’ll also offer a variety of non-pizza dishes including fun theater snacks such as heirloom non-GMO popcorn, quality pub grub, seasonal salads, gourmet tacos, and housemade desserts. Our handcrafted cocktail menu incorporates fresh juices, house-made syrups, shrubs and herbal tonics, and will feature a variety of cocktails, some barrel-aged and on tap!
Owner/founder Scott Novick founded Alternate Ending in the fall of 2018. Scott began home brewing in his NJ backyard about six years prior. He finally left corporate America to get a job washing kegs at Other Half Brewing Company in Brooklyn, his equivalent of playing for the Yankees. He soon joined the brewing staff at OH and worked there until the opportunity to open Alternate Ending fell into his lap. Scott intended to open a production brewery, but his alternate ending said otherwise when he learned of a liquor license for sale in Aberdeen. This liquor license allows AE to operate as a brewpub, meaning we can serve food and other liquor besides beer. Scott worked tirelessly through the COVID pandemic and surrounded himself with a strong team to bring Alternate Ending Beer Co. to Aberdeen!
Everyone at Alternate Ending is thrilled to be a part of the Aberdeen/Matawan community. In fact, many of our employees live here and some even worked at the Bow Tie theater!
We are looking forward to meeting the Chamber members in the future and even hosting some chamber events at AE! Opening soon – end of October.

Welcome New Member: Matawan United Methodist Church

We invite you to discover this sacred space for worship, with its beautiful people. Find here joy, laughter and friendship. We joyfully welcome everyone—and we mean EVERYONE! We are especially sensitive to those who have little or no history of religious expression, but who yearn for spiritual meaning and experience. We reach out to those who are lonely, on the margin of life, and those who experience discrimination with respect to race or gender identity and expression. We gather every Sunday at 10 am. Come early and enjoy praise music. Refreshments and friendship take place afterward in the Fellowship Hall.

The church serves the community in a variety of ministries: a Food Pantry, Thrift Shop and a Flea Market on Saturdays, beginning in May. We support the Women’s Shelter with a Holiday collection. The church sponsors both a boy scout and a girl scout troop. Our volley ball court was renovated by High School volunteers and is open to the public. We offer Rummage Sales twice a year, as well as special dinners and a Holiday Tea as fundraisers. Two districts vote here.

Our pastor, Nick Connolly, entered a life of ministry sixty years ago, first as a Jesuit for twenty-four years, the remaining years as a United Methodist pastor. He brings a background in professional counseling. He simply loves being a pastor and connecting with others. Come! Find the divine within yourself and share the joy!

We all know that cheaper is not always better; why should it be any different with insurance? Are these people giving you proper advice or are you just being sold? Why be stuck with the products and limitations of only one insurance company? Wouldn’t you rather have choices and representatives working on your BEHALF with your best interest in mind?

Business Insurance Consultants, Inc.

Welcome New Member: VoiceNEXT

Fourteen years ago, Mike and I set out to build a better phone company for business. Back then, not too many people had ever heard of VoIP which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It may not yet be a household word, but today, it is much more recognized. The Internet was called the Internet. Now it is popular to call it the Cloud.

So we started VoiceNEXT, a phone company that hosts our clients’ phone systems in the Cloud. That means several things. There are savings up to 80% over the cost of other business phone systems because there is no “phone system” to buy. Our customers need only buy the phones. Our voice quality is unparalleled. You need never miss an important phone call ever again as our mobility features can keep you in touch no matter where you happen to be. Snow storm keeping you from getting to the office? Is there a power outage? Is the Internet down? None of these will interrupt your ability to communicate if you are a VoiceNEXT customer.

The most important reason to consider moving your business phone services to VoiceNEXT is that we care as much about our business you do. We are the phone company that ALWAYS answers the phone. Need help, need to make a change, we are there for you 24/7/365. There is no need to press ten buttons before you get to speak to a live person.

So if your old phone system is on its last legs, or if you want to reduce costs, increase efficiency and productivity, give us a call us to talk about how VoiceNEXT can help your business grow. Let us manage your communications so that you can manage of your business.
