Kesher: Intergenerational Friendship Initiative
The Y’s Norman E. Alexander Center for Jewish Life is proud to announce our new Kesher: Intergenerational Friendship Initiative!
Amidst these difficult months of COVID-19, many in our community are suffering from feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Kesher is designed to pair seniors and non-seniors in a relationship-building program through weekly phone calls and regular letter writing. Participation is open to both individuals and family units. Tools will be offered to assist younger children in their participation.
During the month of October and beyond, the Y family is exploring the value of kindness and launched Kesher to enhance kindness within our own lives and the lives of our larger community.
For more information, please contact Y Norman E. Alexander Center for Jewish Life Director Rabbi Ari Perten at aperten@ywhi.org.
