SelectCare Services and the Senior Task Force of the Jewish Community Roundtable present Tucson’s first Information Fair for Jewish Seniors, Families & Friends, on Sunday, April 3, from 1-5 pm at Handmaker Jewish Services for the Aging, 2221 N Rosemont Blvd., Tucson.
The fair brings together a variety of Jewish resources pertaining to health and wellness of body, mind and spirit. According to Rabbi Sandy Seltzer, chair of the Senior Task Force, “Aging is no longer to be experienced as a static reality, but as a challenge and an opportunity.” The fair will connect seniors with community resources that can assist in making good decisions to promote aging well in today’s world. Guests will have a chance to question experts in the field.
Sponsored by Jewish Tucson and the Jewish Tucson Concierge, the fair features a keynote address by Rabbi William Cutter, Ph.D., Steinberg Emeritus Professor of Human Relations and founding director of the Kalsman Institute, who has published widely on Judaism, health and healing. His topic is “On Judaism and Health on The Obligations of Aging: The Demands and Expectations of Jewish Tradition As One Grows Older.” There will be time for questions and answers, followed by breakout sessions on health and wellness, financial and legal matters, and presentations from social workers and agency representatives, as well as vendors. A raffle will culminate the afternoon. The event is free, with complimentary refreshments and valet parking.
