The lighting of the Shabbat candles, the blessing of the wine, and the breaking of bread, are rituals that transport our seniors back to cherished times with family and friends, reinforcing their sense of belonging and spiritual connection.
Beyond the weekly observance of Shabbat, Jewish festivals and holidays like Passover, Hanukkah, and Rosh Hashanah are vibrant reminders of a shared heritage.
