CJE's Holocaust Community Services hosted its annual program at North Shore Congregation Israel, bringing together 180 survivors for a meaningful afternoon tea celebrating their bravery, resilience, and lives in honor of Holocaust Survivor Day. Observed each year on June 4, the day recognizes survivors as teachers and heroes whose strength continues to inspire.
Guests enjoyed a joyful performance by the Junior Klezmer Orchestra, filling the room with music, singing, and even dancing. Each survivor received a thoughtful gift, and we are grateful to the Seed the Dream Foundation, Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago, and our dedicated volunteers for helping make the day so special.

Dr. Heather Johnston will share successful strategies for navigating medical systems and health provider relationships, including trips to the E.R. and the hospital discharge process. Dr. Johnston has been on both sides of the bed, as both a patient and a doctor. In college, she was diagnosed with stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and then went on to help others as a pediatrician on faculty at the University of Chicago. Since that time, she’s been back in the patient role, receiving treatment for both heart failure and breast cancer. With all this behind her, she now hosts the Dr. Patient podcast which focuses on the patient/provider relationship.

We had a wonderful day exploring Chicago together! It was a special trip downtown to the beautiful Driehaus Museum. The outing was part of our ongoing Community Engagement Programs, designed to create meaningful experiences and connections for our residents and community members. The group enjoyed a visit through the museum’s historic spaces, followed by lunch where everyone had time to relax and connect.
