Fleischman Residence Chapel To Host Dementia-Friendly High Holiday Service
The Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Program will hold its award-winning, dementia-friendly service to celebrate the High Holidays at the Fleischman Residence chapel (6710 W. Maple Road in West Bloomfield) on Sunday, Sept. 28, at 11 a.m. This is the ninth year that the Brown Center will host the Yom Kippur/Kol Nidre Service, which lasts just one hour and which has many accommodations being made to ensure the experience is both enjoyable and as stress-free as possible.
The service, also available on Zoom for those unable to travel, is free and open to the community and there will be valet parking. After the service there will be a Kiddish with honey cake, and there will also be a give-away bag with apples, honey and a small gift.
The Brown Center is a joint initiative of Gesher Human Services and Jewish Senior Life and provides innovative and engaging activities and care for those living with dementia along with support for their families at its two centers in Southfield and West Bloomfield. Jewish Senior Life also operates the Edward I. & Freda Fleischman Residence.
