Spirituality at the Home

JEWISH LIFE AT THE HOME

Overseen by our Director of Spiritual Care and Rabbi, Daughters offers a full array of Jewish religious and cultural programming. There is a beautifully appointed on-site synagogue for meetings, holiday & prayer services.

Shabbat Prayer Services

Kabbalat Shabbat service on Friday afternoon and Shabbat service on Saturday morning are held in the auditorium. Arrangements can be made for those reciting Kaddish.

Jewish Holidays

Daughters of Israel celebrates all Jewish holidays, with prayer services, as well as special activities and programming. For instance, Chanukah activities typically include latkes making, dreidel games, holiday crafts, musical performances, a Chanukah party, and a menorah lighting ceremony.

Special Programming

Intergenerational programs often take place at the Home with local day schools performing and visiting with the residents.
The Director of Spiritual Care holds quarterly lunch & learn discussions and study groups and regularly makes pastoral rounds on the units and in the hospitals.

MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR MULTI-FAITH COMMUNITY

Although Daughters is a home based in the Jewish tradition, we strive to accommodate and respect the spiritual needs of all our residents through various religious observances. Catholic Mass and Communion services are held, in addition to weekly Fellowship Meetings. Visits by members of the clergy to our residents are facilitated on a regular basis.
