Message from Rob Whitten, President of JGS Lifecare

Dear Residents and Families,

As we prepare for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, I would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy New Year.  We will be celebrating the fall harvest festival of Sukkot and Simchat Torah next. Both holidays are joyous, filled with decorations, songs and traditional foods.

The JGS Annual Meeting, which took place on Tuesday evening, October 8th, was a great success and very well attended. We were fortunate to have Barry Berman, CEO of Chelsea Jewish Lifecare, as our featured speaker. Mr. Berman is a nationally recognized innovator in the Green House Model of Care. His heartfelt remarks were relevant to all of us.

This year, the Chair’s Service Award will be presented to Richard Halpern, a dedicated member of the JGS Lifecare Board of Directors. Richard has had a significant impact on our success in raising community philanthropic support to make ongoing campus renovations and expansions possible. He has also enhanced our programs and services. I am delighted to recognize Richard for his commitment to JGS Lifecare and the people we serve.

Warm regards,

Rob
