Heritage Florida Jewish News - Central Florida's Independent Jewish Voice

Thanks to the Jewish Pavilion, residents in 54 independent, assisted and skilled nursing facilities were thrilled to begin their New Year with apples and honey, challah and honey cake. They cried tears of joy when they heard the blowing of the shofar and the singing of Kol Nidre. More than a dozen facilities provided a traditional Jewish meal beginning with matzah ball soup and ending with Jewish apple cake. Service booklets, menus and recipes were supplied by program directors at the Jewish Pavilion.
