PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAY

By Jo Strausz Rosen

In preparation for the New Year, 5783, I wish to reaffirm the belief in my own power, with gratitude to The One for keeping me going. How many of us are struggling to simply get up and get dressed in the morning and find ourselves lingering in loneliness on the sidelines?

How many of us are saying “No, I can’t” to an invitation, after committing to the “Yes I will?”

How many are falling back on old habits and giving in to insecurities and fears? Let’s take this time to make a fresh start.

WHY I LOVE THIS PLACE

By Beth Robinson

It was a busy day. They’re all busy at JSL, which is good – it’s how I like it - I like a lot of activity. Anyway, I had one thing after another on my calendar that day and at two o’clock I was due to visit the creative writing group. I was going to introduce myself as the new Director of Friends of Jewish Senior life and pitch a couple of projects I was hoping they’d find interesting. And then I was going to scoot – I had a bunch of other stuff to do. 

THIS WEEK AT JSL

It’s Fall Prevention Awareness Week on the campuses of JSL. Members of Fleischman Residence enjoyed a game of Jeopardy with Life Enrichment Coordinator, Daniel Kline. The residents were divided into two teams and had to decide what the questions were to the answers on the board, in Jeopardy format. Categories included Statistics, Risk Factors, In the Home, Medication and Illness, and Fall Prevention.

 “When a person takes 4 or more of these, they are more likely to fall.” – The answer is, Medication.

Daniella HarPaz Mechnikov, Executive Director of Yad Ezra, hosted a wonderful visit with Meer residents this week. The residents, and the JSL bus driver toured the facility and learned about their system and some of the new operations. They visited the Yad Ezra greenhouse and saw their offsite Genesis Garden in Berkley. The group of Meer volunteers then sorted seeds for the client gardening program. Daniella reported that it was a huge help to do this.

Special thank you (from left to right) to Bob, Toby Chudnow, Lorraine Sallan, Bernie Jonas, Edith Maniker, Eleanor Smith and Sybil Glaser.
