Our Affordable Housing communities came together to celebrate Sukkot with an afternoon of music, connection, and tradition. We were delighted to welcome Robert for a special performance, enjoyed a shared meal with friends and neighbors, and joined together in singing “Hatikvah,” Israel’s national anthem.

For years, Rabbi Michael Siegel has strengthened our community through compassionate leadership and a deep commitment to helping others.

On October 13, 2026, CJE SeniorLife is proud to honor Rabbi Siegel at Celebrate CJE, taking place at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. A dedicated advocate for older adults and their families, he played an instrumental role in launching CJE Metro at Anshe Emet, expanding access to trusted programs and services in Lakeview.

Join us as we celebrate his extraordinary impact. With your support, older adults and their families can continue to access CJE's trusted care, services, and resources.

To welcome fall and the Jewish holiday season, a group of Holocaust Survivors and HCS staff joined familiar faces from Maot Chitim and F.R.E.E. of Chicago to pack Shabbat meals at Bubby Fira’s Food Bank. Our Survivors’ dedication and energy were on full display as they scooped, sorted, bagged, and peeled their way through the evening! We’re already looking forward to our next service project at Bubby Fira’s.
