O
n Nov. 22 at 11 a.m.
I’
m inviting you to go
nowhere — except to
your computer — to be inspired
by amazing people in our com-
munity who will lift your spirits.
In turn, you’
ll have the opportu-
nity to make a difference in their
lives as we head into what could
be a challenging winter.
At 11 a.m. on Nov. 22, Jewish
Senior Life (JSL) will unveil a
special video featuring inspir-
ing interviews by FRIENDS of
JSL director Leslie Katz with
residents describing what they
believe is a life well lived.
This is not another Zoom
event where you keep forgetting
to hit your mute button. It’
s just
you clicking on a link (jslmi.org/
lwl) and enjoying the brief pre-
sentation.
Actually, “JSL Lives Well
Lived” is the name of the fund-
raising event the FRIENDS
of Jewish Senior Life would
normally invite you to annually
to see these amazing folks in
person and help support JSL
’
s
programming. It’
s no surprise,
that during this pandemic, pro-
gramming has taken on a whole
new level of critical importance
for their senior residents.
In advance of the debut of
the video, JSL is inviting you
to visit jslmi.org/lwl where you
can simply and easily become a
valued sponsor or “FRIEND” of
JSL. That will give them a head
start on providing the necessary
funds to support their efforts
essential to the physical and
mental well-being of our trea-
sured senior community. You
can also get a sneak-peek at the
smiling faces of the residents
who participated in the video.
“Our residents never cease to
amaze me with their incredible
spirit and perseverance, espe-
cially during these most unusual
times we live in,
” Katz said of
her interviews. “They have such
incredible life experiences to
share. Sometimes our conversa-
tions just took their own turns,
always filled with jewels of wis-
dom and inspiration.
”
Every dollar raised will go to
providing activity kits, art sup-
plies and campus technology to
help keep the residents connect-
ed during the long winter ahead.
Funds raised will also go toward
providing tents for residents to
greet their socially distanced
family members and friends in,
allowing the seniors to enjoy a
respite from their apartments.
It cannot be underestimated
how important this singular,
annual “2020 JSL Lives Well
Lived” campaign is to helping
stave off the depression and
isolation that is all too common-
place during the pandemic, but
to also maintain the program-
ming JSL residents rely on year-
round.
