JWB ships Seder
kits to military
Jewish U.S. military person-
nel stationed throughout the
world will have the opportunity
to celebrate Passover due to the
efforts of the JWB Jewish Chap-
lains Council, a division of Jew-
ish Community Centers Associ-
ation of North America. The
JWB Jewish Chaplains Council
shipped Solo Seder kits and var-
ious Passover staples, including
matzah- ball soup, matzahs,
gefilte fish, tuna fish and maca-
roons to Jewish servicemen and
women stationed abroad. The
Solo Seder kits consist of a basic
Passover meal and ritual sup-
plies, enabling individuals in
locations who are unable to
attend a seder, the ability to par-
ticipate in Passover observance.
JWB Jewish Chaplains
Council Chairman,. Rabbi
Matthew H. Simon, of
Rockville, MD, stated, "We are
particularly proud of our unbro-
ken record of commitment to
our men and women in uniform,
spanning eight decades of ser-
vice on behalf of the American
Jewish community."
Thirty three full-time active
duty Jewish Chaplains from all
branches of service supervised
the distribution of supplies. Jew-
ish military lay leaders, certified
and trained by JWB Jewish
Chaplains Council, supervised
distribution in areas without
chaplains.

JFS welcomes new neighbor
The Jewish Family Service of
Tidewater is pleased to welcome
Sentara Senior WellCare Center
as its neighbors on the Norfolk,
Newport Avenue campus.
The Center offers the opportu-
nity tbr the older adult communi-
ty to continue selecting the
superb services of JFS while uti-
lizing those at Sentara. "The
proximity of the two organiza-
tions along with the JCCT make
our campus the premier site for
older adult services in the Tide-
water community," stated Harry
Graber, JFS Executive Director.
"The most exciting feature is that
a patient and their family can
continue to choose JFS Services
while taking advantage of Sen-
tara's state of the art facility,"
continued Graber.
In addition, JFS may join with
Sentara and the JCCT to offer
wellness and prevention pro-
grams right at the campus.
Patients and families can tell the
Sentara physician that they want
JFS as their agency of choice
when receiving homehealth care
after a hospitalization or illness.
Wheri counseling or psychother-
apy is advised, patients may
select JFS clinicians who have
years of experience working with
the senior population. Strict con-
fidentiality is maintained and
coordination between Sentara
and JFS is done only with the
permission of the patient.
Case management, care coor-
dination, volunteer services,
meals on wheels, personal affairs
management and quality of life
are all JFS services available to
patients of Sentara. "We have an
incredible opportunity to coordi-
nate efforts that would stand as a
model in the region for the deliv-
ery of service to the elderly. Sen-
tara Senior WellCare Center is a
wonderful innovative facility and
its patients have the option of
choosing the best that JFS and
JCCT have to offer. It is our
intent to seek enrollment as a
provider in the Sentara HMO, so
as to be available to anyone
wishing to use our services. JFS
certainly remains committed to
the continued provision of quali-
ty care and we are looking for-
ward to the future with great
anticipation and excitement,"
concluded Graber.
