Thanks to a special donation from Andrew Mac of AMAC Pharmacy Services, the weeklong Dream Cruise activities on Jewish Senior Life campuses brought residents, guests, and staff together for a great time. Events included sock-hop-themed live music, Elvis impersonators, jugglers, and a parade of vintage autos. As we waited for the cruise to begin, participants bopped to fifties and Motown tunes as staff in poodle skirts and scarves served the drivers and their passengers a special box lunch. Residents whooped, hollered, applauded, and waved checkered flags at the parade of antique autos that circled the campus. We were delighted to have Channel 7 News reporter, Kimberly Craig there to report on the festivities and interview residents and staff. Our wonderful JSL Dream Cruise made the news!!! |
Activities in all JSL buildings brought out the best energy in everyone. Fleischman hosted Elvis on stilts who juggled as musical entertainment and sweet treats from the Ice Cream truck brought joy to all present. Arnie Collins drove his shiny vintage 1939 Ford and let the residents pose for pictures and peek inside. |
Enjoy outdoor activities, art-making opportunities and complimentary admission to the DNR’s Outdoor Adventure Center along the Detroit Riverfront. Engage with hands-on workshops and activities designed for children, families and people of all ages. Nourish your body and soul with opportunities to purchase food from local food businesses. |

Woodward Avenue & the Dream Cruise
Our local Woodward Avenue was chosen many years ago to be the road upon which classic vintage vehicles cruise and bring much joy and nostalgia to locals and to visitors from afar.
Historically, Woodward Avenue was the first paved road in the USA. For that reason, it is considered the Number 1 Highway.
For years, the dream cruise provided a great weekend of entertainment. Let us take a moment to entertain ourselves with what might be considered the soul and spirit of Woodward Avenue.
The first paved road marks the first smooth terrain and journey. Prayer is our spiritual journey. Our goal is for our prayers to reach heaven on a paved and smooth path, like those vehicles that majestically peruse Woodward Avenue. To whom are we reaching out in prayer? To the only ONE (# 1 highway) - namely our Creator.
As our community becomes a welcoming spot this weekend for many who come to observe the annual Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise, let us hope that our personal journey of prayer travel on a paved road reaching the One Above. Currently, the WAS - Woodward Avenue Shul is proudly situated on Woodward Avenue (just north of the zoo). It is a warm and homey place where one could shed their heartfelt prayers.
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.
