Kerin Martucci has always given back to others — whether that be to her community, women in need and her friends. Now, as she battles an aggressive form of breast cancer, her mother, Joyce Steinert, hopes for one special surprise to lift her spirits: a message from Brooklyn-born comedian Adam Sandler for Martucci’s birthday on Aug. 4.
“If he could just do a phone call and say, ‘Happy Birthday Kerin,’ that would mean so much,” Steinert said. “It would be everything. She adores him.”
Martucci is a longtime Sandler fan. The mother and daughter love watching his films: “50 First Dates,” “Blended” and “Just Go With It,” to name a few. They have always provided them with laughter, and recently, comfort as she undergoes chemotherapy.
“He’s just absolutely a doll,” Steinert said. “It’s all Adam, you know?”
Martucci, who spent her career as a model for a national home shopping network, was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. Her first treatment was July 11. By July 15, she was hospitalized when her white blood cell count dropped dangerously low. She spent three days in the hospital and has been recovering at home since.
“We’re keeping our fingers crossed,” her mother shared.
But, she said, Martucci’s story isn’t about her diagnosis. It’s about her dedication to empowering women in all aspects of life. In 2010, the pair co-authored and self-published “Never Underestimate the Power of Women.” The book tells the stories of various female entrepreneurs — notably including Mellody Hobson, co-president of Ariel Investments and the wife of “Star Wars” creator George Lucas.
Martucci also volunteers for organizations like Home of the Sparrow and Safe Harbor, styles charity fashion shows and hosts events. One farm-hosted show she produced drew news coverage and a feature in Philadelphia Magazine.
“She’s always giving up her time,” Steinert said. “She even has the most beautiful vintage closet — you should see it.”
But this year has been especially heavy for the family. Steinert lost her sister to breast cancer in 2024. Then in March, her brother was diagnosed. Martucci received her own diagnosis in April.
Still, the family is pushing forward, heralded by kindness and community support. A neighbor started a GoFundMe for them, which has raised over $6,000 to help cover mortgage payments and treatment costs — critical help, since Martucci has been unable to work since April.
With her mission for a birthday message from Sandler, Steinert just wants to help spread the word for her daughter’s sake.
“We’ve stayed with him his whole carer,” she said. “Wouldn’t it be something if a fellow New Yorker reached out?”
Martucci’s mother hopes she can pull off the surprise of a lifetime. And if it works, if Adam Sandler calls, even just to say hello — it would mean everything, she said.
“[Kerin] is such a good person, she really is,” her mother said. “To surprise her — wouldn’t that be great?”
Trump’s playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things:
1. Russia isn’t Israel or even Iran.
2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don’t go down the Sleepy Joe road!— Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) July 28, 2025

KKL-JNF Opens New Visitor Center and Café at Sataf Forest in the Jerusalem Hills
Edited by: TJVNews.com
Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael–Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) has inaugurated the new Sataf Visitor Center, a leading educational and tourism attraction in the Jerusalem Hills. The site features an advanced information center, a scenic observation deck, outdoor classrooms, and a boutique French-style bakery and patisserie, “The Sataf.”
The hub was designed to make the historical and agricultural heritage of Sataf accessible to visitors, while offering a unique leisure and culinary experience amid the breathtaking landscapes of the Jerusalem mountains.
Inside the center, visitors will find visually engaging information panels along the corridor leading to the observation deck. These panels present details about KKL-JNF’s work, the uniqueness of the site, its ancient agricultural terraces, traditional crops, and hiking trail maps. All information is provided in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. An open-air classroom overlooking the panoramic view allows groups to gather for briefings before heading out on the trails. The entire site is fully accessible to visitors with disabilities.
Adjacent to the center is “The Sataf,” an artisan bakery-patisserie offering French pastries, local wines, and countryside-inspired dishes. Guests can enjoy seating with spectacular views or take a picnic basket to-go. From the bakery, a short walking trail winds through natural woodland, ancient terraces, and orchards, leading to Ein Bikura, a historic spring where visitors can wade through clear waters and walk inside a carved tunnel dating back to the Roman period – an immersive experience blending nature, history, and refreshment.
The Sataf Forest Hub was built following principles of local and ecological architecture, incorporating sustainable elements such as an integrated solar roof connected to the national grid, a green roof for improved thermal insulation without irrigation, and underground drainage systems to manage runoff and enrich the soil. These features minimize environmental impact and ensure the hub blends naturally into the mountainous landscape.
The Sataf site, covering approximately 1,000 dunams (250 acres), preserves the traditional agricultural landscape of the Jerusalem Hills, including two natural springs – Ein Sataf and Ein Bikura. Since 1985, KKL-JNF has worked to restore ancient terraces and irrigation systems as part of an effort to conserve agricultural heritage and make it accessible to the public.
The site is also home to the “Bustanof” project, an initiative where individuals can cultivate small plots and become part of an active environmental community.
For decades, KKL-JNF Switzerland has been a committed partner in the preservation and development of the Sataf site. Their support, alongside that of other international donors, has been instrumental in bringing the new Visitor Center and forest hub to life—reflecting the deep connection between the global Jewish community and Israel’s natural and historical treasures.
In recent months, KKL-JNF’s Jerusalem region has faced major wildfires, which were managed professionally by the organization’s dedicated teams. KKL-JNF continues to monitor the area and prepare for the summer season to ensure visitors’ safety and preserve the forest landscape.
KKL-JNF Chairwoman Ifat Ovadia-Luski, stated: “The new Sataf Forest Hub is a living example of the connection between nature, history, and community. We continue to preserve the heritage of the Jerusalem Hills while creating experiences that invite the public to explore, learn, and enjoy – all while protecting the environment and ensuring accessibility for all visitors.”
President of KKL-JNF Switzerland, Arthur Plotke, added: “Sataf is a magical place close to Jerusalem that holds a special place in our hearts. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, this Visitor Center stands as a symbol of sustainable development and deep connection to the land. It invites every visitor to embark on a journey through history, nature, and community.”
Opening Hours: Sunday–Saturday, 7:00 AM–4:00 PM (extended hours coming soon)
Location: Sataf – Upper Parking Lot (Waze)
Kosher: All pastries are kosher-certified; the site is open on Shabbat
Accessibility: Fully accessible to the public
