 Largest gathering of people 100 years:
Somerset gathering breaks Guinness world record

 
Somerset, NJ, USA -- The 40 centenarians who gathered at the Regency Jewish Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in the Somerset section of Franklin Township will now be in the Book of World Records; the event was the largest single gathering of people 100 years and older, eclipsing the Guinness world record of 28 that had been set in 2009 at a tea party in England,
according to the World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.

  The Guinness world record for the largest gathering of people with the same first name is 1,096 Mohammeds as part of the Dubai Shopping Festival at Creek Park, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest gathering of people born prematurely: it is 386, in an event organised by UNICEF Argentina (Argentina), in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

  Five of the centenarians who were at the event are residents of the Regency — 100-year-olds Mollie Eisenstein, Anna Howard, and Hilda Lubetkin, and Anna Williams and Sylvia Jeser, both 101, the New jersey Jewish News reported.

   Attendees came from private homes and assisted living centers, and from as far north as Bergen County, to eat lunch and hear musical selections, including, inevitably, "You Make Me Feel So Young."

  Regency administrator Marty Bengio said the centenarian gathering had been held for some years by the Somerset County Office on Aging and Disability Services. The Regency picked it up last year, and decided to go for the world record this year with the county's assistance.
