Celebrating Shabbat lunches at Brookdale Lake Orienta

Twice-monthly Shabbat afternoons have recently turned into monthly Shabbat lunches at Brookdale Lake Orienta. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Brookdale for working diligently with the Jewish Pavilion staff and volunteers to recognize changing needs. The 4 p.m. afternoon Shabbats had been a staple event at this community for many years. But recent changes in the Jewish consensus, as well as the late afternoon attendance being less attended, created a restructure of the program.
