SIGNALS

By Jo Strausz Rosen

John Stewart, singer, and songwriter with the famed Kingston Trio, once told Roseanne Cash, “We’re all just radios, helping to pick up each other’s signals.” Cash said her life was changed in that moment.

Later, Roseanne Cash spoke to NPR’s Manoush Zomorodi about “Her Life and Legacy” as the daughter of Johnny Cash. Zomorodi interviewed Roseanne about her Ted Talk. Check it out! 

Cash recalled and sometimes lamented her relationships. She shared memories of her familial roots in the art of musical poetry that is country music. Cash said: “The strongest signals that come to me are musical. I can tune into a revolution of the heart. Some songs have been postcards from my future. There is a song for every loss, celebration, unspoken need, and longing.”

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

This Flashback Friday is from a June 2017 JN feature on our CEO, Nancy Heinrich.

By Vivian Henoch

A Jewish communal leader with true Yiddishkeit in her spirit, Nancy Heinrich, 56, couldn’t be better suited for her pivotal role as CEO of Jewish Senior Life. She is fluent enough in Russian to greet the community’s older adults from the former Soviet Union in their native language. By profession and long practice, she is a real estate attorney who’s held a seat at the table over discussions of critical issues of Jewish communal concern.

By family and collegial ties, Nancy is well connected to Federation’s network of agencies and board leaders. Her brother, Brian Siegel is CEO of the Jewish Community Center. Her husband, Robert Heinrich, a strategic planning consultant to families, businesses and charities and Founder of Soul of Wealth, is a longtime community volunteer and a current co-chair of the Day School allocations committee of the Jewish Federation.

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.

This Zumba Gold® 45-minute class is suitable for older adults or beginners who are looking for a safe, fun, lower intensity and easy-to-follow dance fitness workout.
