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.

Leslie Katz at (248) 592-5062 or
