Deborah Rosenthal Zemel s a customer of the Jewish Home, Chai Point, Sarah Chudnow Community or Adult Day Center, how do you feel about the services we provide? By customer, we mean anyone who receives service from any of our facilities or programs, whether you are a resident or a family member. According to Randy Crosby, Chief Operating Officer, “We’re getting much more into management analytics where we are gathering quality information from a number of sources to help us improve our services.” He stresses that, along with gathering information, the organization has a “continuous quality improvement philosophy” that is a part of all of the operations. “We deeply value feedback from customers, employees, referral sources, volunteers and others who are involved in some way either receiving or providing services.” In order to implement the program in a fair and unbiased way, the services of National Research Corporation have been secured to conduct surveys using the My InnerView service on a rotating basis throughout the year. The information is collected in a consistent manner from period to period, “so that we can benchmark against our own data as well as against that of our peers in the industry,” stated Crosby.

Ettinger Family Library Fund or over 20 years Suzy Ettinger has been a friend and supporter of the Jewish Home and Care Center, Chai Point, and Sarah Chudnow Community. Like many of our volunteers and supporters, Suzy first became involved with our organizations after receiving a call from Nita Corré asking if she would like to sit on the Jewish Home and Care Center board of directors. She recalls, “it was a wonderful learning experience for me. I knew I did not want to work handson with the residents but that I could be of help on committees, with projects, Suzy Ettinger and lend my knowledge to the board of directors.” Cont. on Page 11 Cont. from Page 1 Anonymity is the key to the results.

Regain and Retain the Health of Your Body and Brain R eCharge! is having a great first year! Two classes of 14 participants each currently meet weekly in Milwaukee. Dawn Adler, Director of Adult Day Programs and Recharge!, recently also led the team that created the Campaign for the Brain programs (see page 7) that were based on the ReCharge! philosophy. Current topics being studied in the ReCharge! classes include: • How men’s and women’s brains are different • How color affects memory • Attention: the core of memory and the number one area where people have difficulty. As one family member said about the ReCharge! class: “The relationships with others and the mental stimulation have really made a difference in [the participant’s] disposition and abilities. Other people have noticed it as well.” To exercise visual/spatial abilities, draw this figure with your right hand. Then draw it with your left hand. Next draw it from memory.

A Heartfelt Thank You After four years as chair of the Jewish Home and Care Center, it gives me great pleasure to acknowledge and thank the many staff members who have made it possible for me to be an effective leader during that time. At every level, you stood by my side, gave me your assistance, and worked with me to insure that the care and comfort of our residents were always the first priority. Thank you for being my advisors and my friends. Arleen Peltz Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation Board Chairman 2 ReCharge/Day Center Adult Day Programs Day Center Participants Define Their Own Program and Space A s a philosophy for the Adult Day Center (ADC), the staff focuses on offering choices, decision making, nurturing relationships, and supporting independence. Program Director Dawn Adler says, “We believe commonalities lead to relationships; relationships lead to a sense of community.” To that end, participants were asked to help define their “space”; what did they want it to look like? What should be in it? As a result, the ADC now sports a library space, Coffee Café, and a yoga room. There is room set aside for exercise, and some family members have given donations to help make these particular requests possible. “We continue to transform the ADC according to their interests,” says Adler. “We like the Day Center to represent the people there.” For instance, she says, if someone is interested in photography, they make sure there are photography books in the library. “We now have a couple of guitars for people who like to play guitar.” Enrollment in the ADC has jumped in the past year, and the staff has grown with it. “We take pride in the professionalism of our staff,” Adler says, “from a yoga instructor, a certified occupational therapist assistant, to a licensed health care administrator; we have added more quality people to our already excellent staff.” Liza Holle gave out hand-dipped strawberries with each purchase. An ongoing program at the ADC has been the For The Cause campaign. Participants choose the cause that they are working towards, which is a reflection of the varied communities that make up the Adult Day Center. It was the brain child of staff member Liza Holle, who says, “We each come from a different community, and we have a sense of community here. All of our participants gave us ideas for causes. We do a different one every other month.” The program was kicked off with a boutique sale with all proceeds going to the SE Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Association. About $400 was raised from the sale of handmade goods including knitted and crocheted items, baked goods, and other crafts. Wonderful baked goods were for sale. The second “cause” was the Jewish Community Pantry, with a collection of non-perishable food items. And the most recent “cause” has been a collection of dental and first aid items. The recipient of these is still under discussion, with a number of agencies being considered. For The Cause will continue throughout the year. As new participants join the group, new causes will be considered. Many unique items were available. 3 For information about the Adult Day Center, call Dana Rubin-Winkelman, MSW, CAPSW, 414-289-9600, x 249. JHCC Activities Marvelous Month of Mitzvahs T o celebrate the season of thanksgiving, the Jewish Home and Care Center acknowledged November as the “Marvelous Month of Mitzvahs” and engaged in mitzvahs (good deeds or commandments) within the greater Milwaukee community and beyond. The “Marvelous Month of Mitzvahs” kicked off with the Become a “Blanketeer!” campaign to benefit Project Linus, an organization that gives blankets to children experiencing illness or a traumatic event. Those participating knitted or crocheted five-inch squares in any color, pattern or stitch; finished squares were then used to create a blanket. All in all, 60 squares were created for the Project Linus blanket. Crocheted squares weren’t the only items collected. JHCC held a food drive to benefit the Jewish Community Pantry. During the two-week drive, 81 pounds of non-perishable food items were collected! In addition to food collection, residents and staff participated in Penny Wars. The concept is simple. Pennies count as one cent each but silver coins and paper money subtract from the team’s (floor’s) total. Teams placed silver coins and paper money into their competitors’ jars to give themselves an advantage. This friendly competition raised $210.77 for the Jewish Community Pantry. Congratulations to the first floor for collecting the most pennies in the Penny Wars! Keeping with the hunger awareness theme, Jewish Home and Care Center hosted an “Empty Bowls” Luncheon and Pottery sale on November 17 in Peck Hall. According to the Empty Bowls website, the Empty Bowls concept is an international program whereby “potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.” JHCC residents and students from Torah Academy of Milwaukee (TAM) painted ceramic bowls that were available for purchase. At the luncheon, attendees purchased the bowl of their choice and enjoyed soup and the breaking of bread with staff and the community. The proceeds of $348 were donated to the Jewish Community Pantry. Thanksgiving Day was marked by “Braids of Blessings,” an opportunity for all to learn about the history and tradition behind the mitzvah of challah. Names were submitted in the “Blessings Box” in the JHCC lobby. While making the challah, 50 special blessings were offered for those in need. Some tasty braids of challah were eaten too! Additionally, Mitzvah Maple Trees were “planted” in various locations in the building throughout the month of November. Residents, families and staff could write mitzvah messages, or “leaves,” for 4 people thanking them for all the work they do. Almost 100 mitzvah leaves were shared showing kind, encouraging remarks about each other! Thanks to all the residents, families, friends and staff who participated and made November a month full of blessings. It truly was a Marvelous Month of Mitzvahs! Marlene Heller, Director of Marketing/ Communications and Beth Draper, Volunteer Coordinator participate in Penny Wars. A bowl is painted by a TAM student at the Empty Bowls Luncheon. Chai Point Happenings Chai Point Activities “Visit” Places Near and Far R esidents and staff celebrated the history and excitement of nearby Brady Street during the second week in October. Among the activities were a Fire Safety presentation from Firefighter Michael Ball and an outing to Glorioso’s Italian Market, a Brady Street fixture since 1946. However, the two highlights of the week were a presentation from Battalion Chief Frank D. Alioto and lunch with the Milwaukee Firefighters. Residents enjoyed lunch with local Brady Street firefighters. The third week of November brought residents “Around the World” for International Week. Through the magic of movies, residents first were transported to Israel during the documentary Next Year Jerusalem and then went cross-continent from London to Rome viewing the classic movie If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium. Bruce Gendelman took residents to Germany with his presentation of “Photos from Berlin.” And what would Battalion Chief Frank D. International Week be Alioto, noted historian without food? Benny the and author of Milwaukee’s Chef treated residents to Brady Street Neighborhood, an authentic Italian dinner shared stories and photos – complete with Italian about the history of, Wedding Soup, Moscato and growing up in, the wine and chocolate cannoli neighborhood.

E very year in November, the Sarah Chudnow Community plays host to the faith community as the Interfaith Choral Concert brings everyone together in song. Each year, the popularity of the event grows, as was evidenced by the standing-room-only crowd that gathered for the event in Posner Town Square and stretched out to the windows. This year’s performers included the Sarah Chudnow Glee Club, directed by Larry Ladin, with accompanist Carla Coonan; Good Shepherd Catholic Church directed by Sister Joann Julka; Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid directed by Enid Bootzin Berkovits and Hazzan Jeremy Stein; Crossroads Presbyterian Church, directed by Todd O’Conner; Lumen Christi, directed by Margaret Caldwell and Peggy Hughes; Milwaukee Jewish Community Chorale, conducted by Enid Bootzin Berkovits; and Grace Lutheran Church, directed by Brian Dearing. The evening began with the Sarah Chudnow Glee Club singing “On a Wonderful Day Like Today” from the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd. Two standouts from the performance included Lumen Christi Church joining the performance for the first time this year, singing Hashivenu completely in Hebrew (arranged by Doreen Rao), and the finale, Down by the Riverside, which was sung by all the participants together. The evening was organized by Sarah Chudnow’s Larry Ladin, who said “Having everyone sing the finale together was inspiring.” SCC is already at work planning the spring senior center concert, another annual concert that is very well attended. Dates for that as well as next year’s interfaith event will be announced on Facebook as well as in upcoming editions of the eNewsletter and Homespun.

So of course, Lenny decided to become an accountant. Nu? The rebellious teenager didn’t do so well with numbers and eventually listened to his father and now tours and teaches the heart and soul of Judaism through Shlock Rock, the Jewish rock & roll band. In January, Lenny and fellow band member Etan G, aka Etan Goldman from Baltimore, came to Milwaukee and entertained in the Rubenstein Pavilion. Residents of the Jewish Home and Care Center, Chai Point, and the Sarah Chudnow Community, as well as members of the general community enjoyed what sounded like rock and roll, Broadway, The program was made possible by a grant through the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation.

In reality, however, the songs were rewritten with Jewish themes and were thoroughly entertaining. (If you loved Master of the House from Les Miserables, you really should hear Gabbai of the Shul!)

Brain Health is Big Issue on Our Campuses W hile others were campaigning for office, the Jewish Home, Chai Point and Sarah Chudnow Community were all holding a Campaign for the Brain in November. In conjunction with National Memory Screening Day and National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, our campuses planned two days to educate the community about brain health and to screen for various health issues that affect the brain, including memory screening, blood pressure, fall risk, depression and more. healthy brain habits. At one table, guests were invited to sit down and attempt some puzzles that were good for boosting brain health. At another, volunteers talked about the benefits of social interactions in later years. Rosalie Gellman creates connections between neurons like the ones we create in our brains every time we do something new! Therapy dogs were present to be petted and admired as their handlers discussed the benefits of visiting with them. A massage therapist was busy all day long at the Milwaukee event as guests lined up for her services.

Ellie Dallet spent many Monday afternoons coming to the Jewish Home and Care Center to help with ceramics. She wanted to do something special to commemorate the time she spent in the activity room. Ellie chose to donate a portion of her bat mitzvah gift money to purchase a potter’s wheel for residents. Daniella Marcus is currently doing her b’nai mitzvah service with the residents at Chai Point. She chose to do her service there after having spent Mitzvah Day with the Milwaukee Jewish Day School at Chai Point. She enjoyed the time spent with the seniors so much that she decided to do her b’nai mitzvah service helping out with bingo and bringing her dog Ti to visit the residents. Inside of the invitations to her bat mitzvah, Dani asked her guests to make donations in honor of her bat mitzvah to the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation. The funds that were donated will go to purchase a new bingo set and a series of PBS documentaries to benefit the life-long learning and pleasurable viewing of the residents.

These sculptures include “To Life,” which is in front of Chai Point and dedicated in memory of Max Gendelman, as well as additional sculptures in the lobby area. The creative artist behind these sculptures is Milwaukee-area sculptor Richard Edelman. Generation to Generation Award Photos by Ryan Hainey Edelman has been around metal all of his life. He worked in several different scrap businesses when he was younger and eventually settled into the metal trading business where he worked for over 20 years. Now retired, he has been keeping busy with creative projects of his own. Chai Point is honored to be hosting an ongoing exhibit of Richard Edelman’s work in its lobby, as well as being the permanent home of “To Life!” Featured here are photos of Richard Edelman’s sculptures currently on display at Chai Point, as well as a new item, which was created for the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation. “To Life” sculpture. 10 The bronze Generation to Generation Award was presented to the Gene and Ruth Posner Foundation at the 2013 Generation to Generation Luncheon. On his website, Richard Edelman says, “Bronze is a timeless alloy of copper, tin, lead, zinc and silicon. How did the ancients know? Bronze is silent, no need to shout. Its words will outlast us by Welcoming guests and residents to Chai Point, the beautiful sculpture “To Life” in memory of Max Gendelman is featured on the front and back cover of the Jewish Home and Care Center Foundation’s 2012-2013 Annual Report. thousands of years while articulating the finest of details modeled in clay and plaster.” Edelman explained, “My stainless steel sculpture in front of the Chai Point building is entitled TO LIFE. While standing approximately fifteen feet tall, it weighs only five hundred pounds including the base. The relatively low weight is due to its construction based on the very durable and flexible double helix DNA molecule of life. I chose this structure to express the theme of life for the eighteenth year celebration of Chai Point, which is also why the word chai (life) was chosen for the individual elements. TO LIFE flexes but does not break in the high winds off Lake Michigan. Stainless steel is a contemporary metal which expresses newness and the future, though the manner in which I worked it…hand blacksmithing red hot with hammers and tongs…is as old as the words beat your swords into plowshares. TO LIFE thus unites themes of the new and the old. Akedah Isaac “But Where Is The Lamb?” 2012, Bronze “There are currently three of my bronze sculptures in the Chai Point lobby common areas. Bronze sculptures are created by modeling figures in clay and plaster, then molding them, and finally casting in metal using the disappearing wax method. This ancient process I believe best tells the story of the binding of Isaac. In the face of ABRAHAM I attempt to capture the fear and focus of a father at the moment he is asked to sacrifice his son. In ISAAC AT THE BINDING is the son, kindling on his back, at the moment he asks with concern Father, where is the ram for the sacrifice? Meanwhile, THE RAM looks on blankly but not meekly, about to take Isaac’s place.” The bronze sculptures of Abraham, Isaac and the Ram are all on display in the Chai Point lobby. Visitors are invited to visit Chai Point to view them. To learn more about Richard Edelman, please visit his website www.edelmansculpture.com.
