Jewish New Year High Holiday Service for Michiganders Living with Dementia, Oct. 6
Dementia-Friendly High Holiday Service Celebrating the Jewish New Year to be Held Oct. 6 in West Bloomfield!
Service is available free on Zoom for participants not able to travel.
The Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Program will be holding 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, Oct. 6 at 11 a.m.
This is the 8th year that the Brown program has hosted the Yom Kippur/Kol Nidre Service which lasts just one hour with many accommodations being made to ensure the experience is both enjoyable and as stress-free as possible, while still providing a meaningful High Holiday experience for families and their loved ones living with dementia. The service is free and open to the community and is also suitable for other adults who have physical restrictions which would make a traditional longer service uncomfortable; for example, rows are arranged with easy access to bathrooms and there is plenty of room for wheelchairs.
