Stress reduction is an important part of mental healthcare. During a stretching and mindfulness event at 7 Elephants Gymnastics, our Specialized Case Management team helped to promote mental health awareness within the Ukrainian community. The group took time to stretch and learn about mindfulness strategies they can use to combat everyday stress. Thanks 7 Elephants for having us!

Calling all toys!🪀 You can support JFS' two new Family Resource Centers by donating like-new toys on Thursday, October 21st.
These spaces will connect families to vital support services—and we want to make sure the children who come through our doors feel just as cared for. That’s why we’re creating warm, engaging play areas where kids can learn, play, and feel at ease while their families receive the support they need. The toys you donate will create a space where kids can spend time doing what they do best- learning, playing, and exploring their world.

Thanks to all who joined Rabbi Yonina’s High Holidays Nature Walk at Reinstein Woods! We gathered to learn a little bit more about the meaning of this time of year for the Jewish community, go through a guided meditation led by Rabbi Yonina, and, of course, stroll through the woods. We look forward to our next walk!

May all who observe have an easy and meaningful fast.
