Have You Been to Israel?

Friday, October 07, 2011
If you haven't (or even if you have), now's your chance to discover many aspects of Israeli culture right here in Denver! In a collaboration spearheaded by JFS at the JCC Colorado Senior Connections, several nonprofits and synagogues in the Denver area are bringing education, celebration, and conversation to Jewish seniors beginning October 18th. In a year-long series called Passport to Israel, programs will feature different enrichments and experiences centering around Israel.

There is a suggested donation of $5 per class, unless otherwise noted. Transportation will be provided from Allied Jewish Apartments, the JCC, and Temple Emanuel for $3 round trip. Call Allied Jewish Apartments at (303) 399-1146 to sign up for transportation. For more information about any of these programs, please contact Cathy Grimm at (303) 597-5000.

More information and the full schedule of programs: http://jewishfamilyservice.org/events/JFS-at-JCC-Passport-to-Israel.

So pack your bags and RSVP for some fun Israeli programs today!

JFS at JCC Host a Wine and Nosh Party!

Friday, August 19, 2011


Last week, JFS at the JCC Colorado Senior Connections hosted a party to kick off a new program for older adults that includes social, educational, recreational, and health activities. More than 80 people over the age of 60 attended this event held at the Robert E. Loup JCC Denver (JCC). The attendees enjoyed mingling and learning more about how to get involved in this new program, while feasting on hors d'oeuvres and wine provided by Allied Jewish Apartments and Jewish Family Service.



Cathy Grimm, Suzi Malman, and Lil Shaw are the staff members at both Jewish Family Service and the JCC who are leading the program. Cathy Grimm, program coordinator and director of Senior Solutions at Jewish Family Service says, “This new partnership will take all the social and educational programs older adults love at the JCC and will add exciting new programs and resources that will strengthen and bring the community together.” At the end of the event, we had transportation service available to ensure everyone got home safely.

If you are interested in learning more about this program and the weekly events and activities taking place, check out the JFS at the JCC program schedule!



Thank you to the partners of this program: Rose Medical Center, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Community Center, Shalom Cares, Allied Jewish Apartments, and local synagogues for coming together to keep our community united.

Also, thank you to Howard Lutz for generously donating his photography skills for the party!
