Do you ever reminisce about childhood road trips with your family? My life in the 1960s is filled with memories of when our family would pile into our Oldsmobile to visit my mother’s relatives in the Boston suburbs on the north shore. Or we drove to Chicago to visit my father’s family, on the south side where I was born. I remember special family vacations, drives around America and even leaving our country at times for visits to Canada. We drove all the way through the Western Provinces to Banff and Lake Louise, stopping in Calgary to participate in the famous Stampede. We returned via the states, through the Rockies, stayed in little motels and cabins and sometimes in what I used to refer to as ‘fancy’ hotels - Holiday Inns - with themed restaurant dining rooms that served adult food with Shirley Temples for me. I recall with delight the times we put quarters in the Magic Fingers device that was mounted onto the beds, and that single quarter bought 15 minutes of “tingling relaxation and ease,” according to its label. Giggling… that’s what I remember. |
During this most recent gathering of master knitters at Meer, the discussion turned to how long each has been knitting. Most learned from their mothers in their teen years and have been knitting ever since. L’dor V’dor dear Meer residents. May your fingers continue to create beauty and bring you joy. |
Hechtman residents learned about Tisha B’Av during a program led by Rabbi Polter. Each wrote and sent messages to the Western Wall (pictured), and enjoyed an Israeli-themed snack. |
As of part of JLS' Fire Safety training, the Oak Park campus came together to learn the proper way to use a fire extinguisher. Following the hands-on experience, staff enjoyed delicious ice cream treats. Special thanks to Jun Buison and Darrin Durkin for leading the training. |
We are hiring people for a variety of full time and part time positions. Join our caring team and make a difference in the lives of the older adults who live at Jewish Senior Life. |
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts are a great way to build your cardiovascular system as well as add strength and flexibility. Try this 30 minute workout! |

Rabbi Dovid S. Polter, Community Chaplain
As Seen on TV
A great marketing tool is to list on a given product, “As seen on TV.”
When a certain item is broadcast on TV, it seems to carry more weight, and convinces consumers to purchase that item.
When peace will reign and normalcy will once again prevail in our world, that too will be seen on TV. Let us hope and pray that our multiple channels will soon feature acts of goodness and kindness. The TV will proudly confirm its validity. The information shared will no longer frighten us - but settle our minds and provide joy, peace and tranquility to our vulnerable hearts.
Shabbat Shalom by Phone - Enjoy some inspiration

L’Chaim!
More than half of the residents who live in our JSL communities are considered low income or indigent. Your philanthropic support is essential to maintaining programs and services to help these older adults age with dignity and with a better quality of life. In addition, your gifts could significantly support the shortfall in the cost of pharmacy bills which are so vital to the residents’ wellness. We are so grateful for your generous gifts to Jewish Senior Life.
