Dear Friend of the Jewish Home,
Happy 2016! As the Jewish Home looks
ahead to the next 12 months of caring for seniors across Los Angeles, there are
fresh opportunities to serve. As we continue to extend our reach and expand our
capacity to serve, we strive to meet the growing needs from seniors and their
families citywide.
Our future is possible because of hard
work completed in the recent past. For that, I extend my gratitude to our
outgoing board chair Jeffrey Glassman, whose commitment to and enthusiasm for
the Jewish Home makes him a powerful advocate for advancing our vital mission.
Jeff has been an invaluable asset to our community, and I am so appreciative of
his wisdom and partnership.
It is my pleasure to welcome our new chair,
David Swartz. All of us at the Home are looking forward to an exciting
collaboration with Dave, a long-time member of the Jewish Home family who
has served in a number of capacities on our board. His extensive community
involvement also includes work with Jewish Big Brothers, the Jewish
Federation, and Camp Max Straus Foundation.
With the help of Jeffrey,
Dave, and so many others, we have built a remarkable organization that makes a
difference in so many seniors' lives. I invite you to watch video testimonials
from our residents, available in this issue of Jewish Home e-Connections, to see
first-hand just how significant our impact can be. Also in this issue, you will
read about the Jewish Home's upcoming history fair, which will capture seniors'
memories and showcase the 103 years of historical artifacts of Jewish Los
Angeles.
As you peruse the following articles, I hope you share my sense
of pride about the important work your partnership makes possible. Many thanks
for your wonderful support.
With best wishes,
Molly Forrest
CEO-President
