Senior Social and Recreational Programs

We believe it's important to live life to the fullest at any age, with dignity, independence and friendship.

Activities

Our popular weekly Harry J. and Belle Goodman, Parents of Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Lechayim Lunchtime Plus program is a testament "to life", with an affordable kosher meal, fitness activity and top-notch presentations and entertainment.

JSS staff and volunteers take Senior Shabbats to a number of retirement residences each month, featuring candle lightning, challah, music and a Torah discussion.

Seniors, their families, JSS staff and volunteers gather together at Passover Seders at several retirement communities, inviting all to partake of traditional fare, music and ceremony.

Holiday Outreach volunteers spread the spirit of Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah and other Jewish holidays. Summer Outings take older adults on day trips, to luncheons and to places of interest. Programming for Russian Seniors includes English classes and affordable tickets to cultural events of special interest. Seniors who are new to our community are visited by Shalom from Jewish Social Services volunteers who bring information, delicious treats and a warm welcome to newcomers.
