Celebrating Sukkot with a wine and cheese party

On Sunday, Oct. 13, Jewish Pavilion Senior Services brought together residents, family members, and board members at Village on the Green for a festive Wine and Cheese Party in celebration of Sukkot. Attendees enjoyed a delicious spread of wine, cheese, fruit, white fish, herring, and challah, all while surrounded by beautifully decorated lemons.

Jane Edelstein, board chair of Jewish Pavilion Senior Services, welcomed the crowd and spoke about the deeper significance of Sukkot. "Sukkot reminds us of our ancestors' journey through the desert, where they lived in temporary shelters and relied on faith, community, and kindness," Edelstein shared. She also highlighted how JPSS embodies these same values by bringing Jewish traditions, companionship, and support to seniors living in elder-care facilities.

The afternoon gathering was filled with warmth, camaraderie, and a sense of purpose as Edelstein invited attendees to consider leaving a legacy gift to ensure that the organization's mission continues to enhance the lives of seniors for generations to come. "A legacy gift is a powerful way to leave a lasting impact-one that honors your values and sustains our shared mission," she said.

The event was a heartwarming celebration of community, tradition, and generosity, reflecting the true spirit of Sukkot.
