COMFORT

By Jo Strausz Rosen

Another horrible day in the life of America captured repeatedly in the news. We are here again, resoundingly sad, angry, and stunned by the horror of gun violence. Are we able to turn the page in our heads? It gets harder and harder to do so - the sadness in each of us scarring over the deep bruises.

SHABBAT SHALOM

Rabbi Dovid S. Polter, Community Chaplain

To Celebrate Together

Mazel tov!

Our greater Detroit community is once again celebrating its spectacular annual Bessie Spectorz’l” Older Adult Celebration. It will be held virtually on Friday, May 27th at 12:00pm

This heartwarming and beautiful event grows richer each year.

The number 95 is a healthy and happy number. It marks a perfect oxygen level. This event serves as the oxygen and the lifeline of our great community.

Additionally, 95 is the numerical value of two feminine Hebrew names, Yaffa and Malkah.

Yaffa means beautiful and Malkah symbolizes royalty.

Truly, beauty and royalty accompany the esteemed senior members in attendance.

Seniors, thank you for helping us maintain our oxygen level.

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.
