The average facility in South Orlando has less than a handful of Jewish residents. Therefore, residents are overjoyed to interact with Jewish Pavilion staff and volunteers. At a recent Shabbat service, I was thanked over a dozen times by three older women. Together we shared a traditional Jewish meal in the beautiful, private dining room at Madison House. The Activities Director and chef joined us for the blessings and a wonderful conversation that started with the torah portion and ended with us chatting about our families. Traditional Jewish recipes and holiday celebrations were a major part of the conversation. While the Jewish Pavilion is “in the business” of bringing Jewish culture to residents in independent, assisted and skilled nursing, it is the personal attention that the residents enjoy most of all. When I left to return to work, Susan Mazlin, one of our wonderful volunteers, was escorting Evy, one of the residents to her room. I am confident that the two chatted for at least a half hour after I departed. Being a part of a Jewish community means far more than providing Jewish ritual. At the Jewish Pavilion, we provide compassionate companionship as well.

Positive pill popping…what is that all about? The Jewish Pavilion will present a workshop on Medication Management on Thursday, February 2nd at 10 am. at Colonial Medical.  Hank and Bonnie Charpentier (Partners in Health Care)

will teach techniques for keeping track of your medicine and that of your loved ones. The workshop is free and open to the community, but an RSVP is required . Contact Wendy Levine at 407-678-9363 or wendylevine@jewishpavilion.org.Like other Pavilion programs, this venue is ideal for socializing and refreshments will be served. A spoon full of sugar (and attending this workshop) will help the medicine go down.

Geanne Share and Harriett Lake at Pearls event

“Absolutely Anna”, a one woman show about memories, will be presented to Pearl  level givers of $500 or more to the Jewish Pavilion on Wednesday, January 25^th at 11 a.m. at Oakmonte Village.’ Why is it important for Pavilion supporters to get together? Because, being a part of the Jewish Pavilion  means that you care about our elders in the community and their quality of life. When women who “care” get together over brunch, the bonding is incredible. Many close friendships have formed as a result of their volunteer and philanthropic commitments. Having the event at Oakmonte Village in Lake Mary is extra special, because a Pavilion volunteer, Cathy Swerdlow, goes to Oakmonte bi- weekly to provide Shabbat services and bi-monthly to provide Jewish education. Jewish holidays are celebrated in style at Oakmonte Village. If you are looking for good friends, one of the best places to find them is through Jewish communal activity. Being involved with the Pavilion  will change your  life for the better.
