Fleischman Residence and 
the Brown Memory Care 
Pavilion at JSL, says that 
while music brings tons of 
joy to the residents, simply 
being together does the trick 
even more. 
“Throughout the past year 
and a half, we’ve had con-
certs when residents have 
been in quarantine in their 
rooms with strolling musi-
cians, but it doesn’t bring 
the same joy if they’re not 
able to enjoy it with their 
neighbors,” Drissman said. 
Drissman had similar 
thoughts about Ella Baker in 
light of the event. 
“Ella was all about com-
munity and social justice 
and she would want every-
one to have the same oppor-
tunities, so whether she 
lived at Danto, Hechtman or 
Fleischman, she would want 
everyone to equally benefit 
from it, so hopefully we’ll be 
able to continue these kinds 
of events and invite other 
people.” 

Century Jew,” describes 
how struggles in practicing 
Judaism on a virtual 
platform due to COVID-19 
gave him the opportunity 
to grow stronger in his 
personal and religious life 
and led to opportunities 
to meet other Jews from 
around the world.
