Holocaust survivors
welcomed the Jewish
New Year a few days early with
a delicious kosher lunch catered
by Fleischman Residence and
a virtual concert with Cantor
Zachary Mondrow that more
than 40 participants joined via
Uber Conference, Uniper and
Zoom.
This joint program of Jewish
Family Service and the Program
for Holocaust Survivors and
Families of Jewish Senior Life
was made possible thanks to
the time and generosity of the
41volunteers and two JFS trans-
portation drivers who delivered
the boxed meals, as well as
the generosity of the Jewish
Federations of North America
for funding the program.
“We want our survivor com-
munity to know that they are
not alone,
” says Dr. Charles
Silow, director of the Program
for Holocaust Survivors and
Families of Jewish Senior Life.
“We care about them, and we
are there for them during these
difficult and stressful times.
”
Missy Lewin, director
of Holocaust Survivor and
Supportive Services at Jewish
Family Service, said, “It is truly
an honor to bring programming
and joy to the survivor com-
munity. “There’s nothing more
heart-warming than getting a
call from a survivor and hearing
that we put a smile on their
face.
”
Holocaust survivors welcomed in
5782 with a virtual concert.
