Thanks to Ruth Katz and Jeffrey Farber of The New Jewish Home for talking with me about recent attacks on Jewish senior care organizations and the effects on their residents and staff. “This is everybody’s issue. It is you. What affects one of us, affects all of us,” Katz told me. “In this case, it’s one group that’s set aside. But bullies and evil-doers target all kinds of groups. I don’t think anyone is safe in a world where any one group can be targeted.” #hate #skillednursing #longtermcare #nursinghomes

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, residents enjoyed a fantastic performance by the talented dancers from Fundacion Yolanda Laprea and participating in the weekly Spanish-speaking social group led by Therapeutic Recreation Leader Maritza Lebron. Take a look!

May this Yom Kippur bring peace, meaningful reflection and a renewal of spirit. 🙏🍃 #YomKippur
