THE VILLAGE EFFECT

A few years ago, I was fortunate to meet the fabulous Brené Brown, PhD, MSW at a convention. She told me, “Connection is the reason we are here. “She went on to demonstrate in personal stories that nothing lasts forever, but this is the reason we must cherish each moment we have together.

I think we can all agree that one of the best cures for feelings of anxiety is getting out of the house, meeting people, and doing things for yourself and for others. Simple conversations with strangers are reminders that we are all going through life together - this commonality bonds us to each other and often brings comfort and joy.

Author, Matthew J. Hall wrote, “The Human Condition is a Terminal Illness.” He maintains and teaches that if we can share our own unique experiences and our feelings, good or bad, with friends and loved ones, we are all better off."

"Freedom Flow" for Springtime!

JSL OAK PARK HAPPENINGS

BUILDING COMMUNITY SIDE BY SIDE, SLICE BY SLICE

At Prentis Apartments in Oak Park, JSL, Reboot, Repair the World, and Moishe House recruited volunteers to make Sunbutter and jelly sandwiches that were donated to stock Detroit Community Fridges (there are five across Detroit that are open all year). Approximately 40 people between resident volunteers and younger adults - ages 15 to 28 - attended, and also worked on a digital cookbook. Sunbutter is an allergen free peanut butter alternative made from the seeds of sunflowers. So proud of our Prentis residents!

BRUNCHING WITH THE BEST - MOMS

Teitel Apartments, located on the A. Alfred Taubman Jewish Community Campus in Oak Park, celebrated Mother’s Day last weekend with the residents from Prentis and Coville too. Everyone enjoyed delicious food, great conversation and cultivating camaraderie.

Our boutiques are run by a dedicated group of volunteers who are enthusiastic about supporting JSL and helping customers! If you want help picking the perfect gift or outfit, they’ve got you covered. Not just for residents, the boutiques are a great way for everyone to shop for a cause!
