In mid-October, Selfhelp Community Services marked 90 years of serving Holocaust survivors with a three-day conference at UJA-Federation of New York. A Legacy of Caring: Holocaust Survivor Services Now and In the Future brought together professionals from around the world to share promising practices and explore the future of services for Holocaust survivors and older adults with histories of trauma.
Representing CJE SeniorLife’s Holocaust Community Services (HCS), Dr. Yonit Hoffman, Cindy Laegeler, and Vera Rodriguez-Mancera presented HCS’s innovative approaches to survivor engagement, highlighting programs that foster connection, reduce isolation, and link survivors with supportive resources and their communities.
Joined by Leah Chiss of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, the HCS team also explored policy, partnerships, person-centered, trauma-informed care, and Holocaust education.
The conference provided opportunities to learn, strengthen partnerships, and reflect on the privilege of serving Holocaust survivors and our shared responsibility to honor their experiences and carry their legacy forward.

In honor of National Family Caregivers Month, CJE SeniorLife’s Zoller/Kaplan Families Center for Cognitive Services brought care partners together for a special Care Partner Appreciation Luncheon filled with connection, reflection, and gratitude.
We were honored to welcome Dasha Kiper, author, clinical psychologist, and social worker, for a meaningful conversation about the complexities of caregiving, how it can affect our own brains, and the importance of self-compassion.
The afternoon was a beautiful reminder of the power of shared experiences and the importance of caring for those who care for others. Thank you to Dasha Kiper, Renewal Memory Partners, and all the incredible care partners who joined us!
