New Year's festivities begin early

While most people believe that Rosh Hashanah begins on Sept. 4, it has already started for the Jewish Pavilion, which is responsible for visiting our elders in 54 facilities in greater Orlando. Emily Newman, a program director for the Jewish Pavilion, kicked off the festivities at a Shabbat/ New Year’s dinner where apples and honey were served, and residents received Jewish calendars compliments of Beth Shalom Memorial Chapel.
