Jewish Seniors in New York City Can Attend This Seniors' College
Rahul Kalvapalle — September 23, 2014 — Life-Stages
The Jewish Association for Serving the Aging is organizing a college program of sorts for Jewish seniors. The program will give senior Jewish New Yorkers a chance at accessing later life education programs while enjoying the community feel of attending college.
The program's varied course selection gives Jewish seniors a chance to learn new knowledge and skills, partake in engaging and lively discussions and form friendships with their peers. This last aspect of the program is very important due to the fact that even in a bustling city like New York City, seniors are often isolated and lonely.
Jewish seniors contemplating joining the program can set up interviews with instructors, seniors and representatives from the Jewish Association for Serving the Aging who have been attending the workshops for many years.
