Throughout the year, JFS brings Shabbat Services to the Jewish residents in senior facilities. The services aren’t just about celebrating Shabbat, they are about visiting and interacting with the residents, doing arts and crafts, and getting to know our more isolated Jewish neighbors. We also celebrate 52 Shabbat holidays each year at Greenwich Hospital, providing this Jewish connection not just to patients, both in person and through the hospital’s tv channel, but also to doctors, nurses, administrators, and community members. In order to accomplish this, JFS mobilizes Greenwich Jewish Clergy, volunteers both young and old from throughout the area, as well as community organizations and local Jewish institutions.
