Religious services and Jewish education

: We have a traditional synagogue where Shabbat and Holy days are inclusive, participatory and joyous. Friday night Shabbat services are on Friday at 6:30pm and Shabbat morning services on Saturday at 10am.

Spiritual Care: Rabbi Debora meets with residents and families counseling and accompanying residents and families facing life crisis. As we age our health fails and we need to make difficult decisions about the care we need, and the therapies and medical procedures we want to have or not have. From doctors and nurses we get the medical information. Rabbi Debora provides both a Jewish perspective and the spiritual dimensions involved in this time of decision making. Rabbi Debora's door is always open to residents and families. Please, feel free to contact her with questions or when you need a "listening ear".

Creating community: infusing our community with Jewish spirituality, providing a spiritual community for our elders, sharing life's hardships and joys are the focus of Rabbi Debora's work.
