May the new year bring health, happiness and peace

As we enter the High Holiday season, our hearts turn toward community, connection, and care. At Jewish Pavilion Senior Services, our mission is clear: to ensure that Jewish seniors in elder-care facilities know they are cherished, remembered, and an integral part of our Jewish family. We are here to keep the spark of tradition alive, bringing the warmth of our heritage to those who need it most.

With the dedication of our incredible volunteers and the passion of our staff, we bring Shabbat programs, holiday celebrations, and one-on-one visits to Jewish seniors in over 50 facilities across greater Orlando. Our team carefully coordinates these special moments, ensuring every detail is just right-from the sweetness of round raisin challahs and honey cakes to the comforting words of holiday prayers.

But we don't stop there. We open our hearts and our doors to all, welcoming seniors of every faith to share in the joy and connection of our programs, because we believe that no one should feel alone-especially during the holidays. The Jewish Pavilion directs 94% of our budget directly toward programs that uplift our seniors and their families, fostering a sense of belonging and continuity.

Through our Senior Help Desk, we extend a guiding hand to thousands of families, easing the often-overwhelming journey of elder care with compassion, support, and expert advice. We are honored to be a beacon of hope and guidance during life's most challenging moments.

May this New Year bring you and your loved ones health, happiness, and peace. From all of us at the Jewish Pavilion-staff, volunteers, and the countless seniors whose lives are brightened by your generosity-we wish you a sweet and meaningful High Holiday season.

L'Shanah Tovah!
